US does not need UN mandate for Iraq military action - UN chief, Ban Ki-moon



The US would not need the approval of the UN Security Council for military operations in Iraq if it acts on a request by the Baghdad government, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said.

The US "will have to decide whether they intervene in the conflict with ground troops or other military means, and whether they will coordinate such a course of action with the regional power of Iran," Ban told the Swiss daily, Neue Zuercher Zeitung.
