"The Israeli attacks and airstrikes are completely destroying Lebanon's infrastructure," Mr. Maliki said at an afternoon news conference inside the fortified Green Zone, which houses the American embassy and the seat of the Iraqi government.

We call on the world to take quick stands to stop the Israeli aggression."

The American Embassy did not answer a reporter's request for a response.
