The
United States on Monday slammed
Russia and
China for their failure to condemn an attack last week on its Baghdad embassy by pro-Iranian demonstrators.
"Not allowing the
United Nations Security Council to issue the most basic of statements underscoring the inviolability of diplomatic and consular premises once again calls the council's credibility into question," the US statement said.
The attack on the Baghdad embassy, which did not result in any injuries, was meant to protest against a US airstrike against Ketaeb Hezbollah (KH), an Iranian-backed militia which the US had blamed for rocket attacks on its facilities in northern
Iraq that resulted in the death of a US contractor.
