Tehran commented on the US attacks in Syria and Iraq, saying they are act of terrorism, and demanded the United States to leave the region, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said on Monday.

"The US military aggression against Iraq and Iraqi forces is direct evidence of US terrorism, [Tehran] condemns it”, Mousavi said.

He further demanded that the United States stop interfering in Iraq’s internal affairs, and indicated that the presence of foreign troops in the region only leads to an escalation of tensions.

In this regard, Mousavi demanded that the United States "cease its occupation presence”.

On Sunday, the US attacked five Hezbollah Brigades facilities in Iraq and Syria, in which dozens of resistance fighters were either martyred or injured.
