"The only contribution the American forces or the international coalition is going to help us with is from the sky," al-Abadi said. "We are not giving any blank check to the international coalition to hit any target in Iraq."
He said that the Iraqi military will choose and approve targets, and that the U.S. will not take action without consulting with Baghdad first. Failure to do so, he warned, risks causing civilian casualties like in Pakistan and Yemen, where the U.S. has conducted drone strikes for years.
"I actually find it puzzling that we hold a conference in Paris to help Iraq and to fight terrorism and here we are, it's the biggest neighbor of Iraq — Iran — is excluded," he said. "That puts me as a prime minister in Iraq in a very difficult position."
Al-Abadi added that Iraq is caught in the middle of "a disagreement between the international allies — or this international coalition — and Iran on the Iraqi land. For me, that is catastrophic."
