Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Iraqi leaders guaranteed the safety of American personnel and property on Tuesday in a telephone call with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the State Department said after protesters attacked the US Embassy in Baghdad.

Pompeo spoke with Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi and President Barham Salih separately from his office in Washington.

“The Secretary made clear the United States will protect and defend its people, who are there to support a sovereign and independent Iraq. Both Abdul-Mahdi and Salih assured the Secretary that they took seriously their responsibility for and would guarantee the safety and security of US personnel and property,” State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement.
