An Iran-backed armed group announced on Monday that it would continue its five-day pause on attacking the US embassy in Baghdad.
“The deadline given to the embassy of American evil will be extended by an additional five days,” Kataeb Hezbollah said in a statement on Monday.
It added that it would respond to “any violations by the enemy accordingly” and inform a mediator of its “response mechanism”.
It denied any involvement in a drone strike that hit the headquarters of the Iraqi intelligence service in Baghdad. (AFP)
