Iraq's foreign ministry said the US would transfer its diplomatic support centre at Baghdad International Airport to the Iraqi government, under an agreement signed with US charge d'affaires Steven Fagin, AFP reported.

AFP said Iran-backed groups have targeted US sites more than 600 times during the war.
