The U.S. is providing Iraq with helicopters, missiles and surveillance drones to help the country counter an increase in terrorist bombings, a State Department official said today.
The U.S. recently delivered a batch of Hellfire missiles and is planning to supply ScanEagle surveillance drones in accordance with the 2008 bilateral Strategic Framework Agreement between the two countries, the State Department official said speaking on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss details of arms sales.
