Pompeo spoke to Mahdi on Sunday, a day after 3 American troops and several Iraqi forces were wounded in the second major rocket attack in the past week on an Iraqi base north of Baghdad.
Secretary Pompeo said the groups responsible for these attacks must be held accountable. He added that the US will not tolerate attacks and threats to American lives and will take additional action as necessary in self-defense.
