Raab warned that anyone seeking to harm those forces (coalition forces) could expect a strong response.
US forces in Iraq on Thursday (Mar 13) waged a series of precision air strikes against an Iran-backed militia in Iraq that it blamed for a major rocket attack which had killed two American troops and a 26-year-old British soldier a day earlier.
"UK forces are in Iraq with Coalition partners to help the country counter terrorist activity and anyone seeking to harm them can expect a strong response," Raab said in a statement on Friday.
Iraqi parliament had in January after the US assassination of top Iranian General Qaseem Soleimani, passed a resolution mandating America to relocate and evacuate its troops from the country with US president Donald Trump threatening sanctions against Baghda.
