Fox News
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby has retracted his claim that Iraqi leaders were warned ahead of airstrikes launched by the U.S.
He was forced to retract this claim after State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel confirmed this was not accurate and that Iraqi leaders were not informed until after the strikes.

"Iraq, like every country in the region, understood that there would be a response after the deaths of our soldiers. As for this specific response on Friday, there was not a pre-notification," Patel told the press on Monday. "We informed the Iraqis immediately after the strikes occurred."
