In the statement, Iraqi foreign ministry spokesman Amded Mahjoub said the ministry had been informed of a statement issued by the American embassy in Baghdad on the beginning of new US sanctions against Iran.
Mahjoub said the Iraqi foreign ministry would like to note that the second part of the US embassy's statement ran counter to diplomatic norms and mutual respect for the country's sovereignty as a basic principle of international laws.
The spokesman made it clear that Iraq does not accept any interference with its internal affairs particularly those sections concerning structural reform of its security forces which are under command of the prime minister and commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
The statement of the Iraqi foreign ministry expressed hope that the US embassy in Baghdad would omit those parts of its statement which were incompatible with diplomatic norms and would refrain from repeating it in the future.
