In protest over Iranian strikes on northern Iraq that killed many civilians over night, Iraq on Tuesday phoned Iran's charge d'affaires in Baghdad and called back its ambassador from Tehran for discussions.

Iraqi Christians have struggled since the Nineveh plains, their historic homeland of rolling hills dotted with wheat and barley fields, were wrested back from Islamic State extremists six years ago. Although the threat from IS has receded, some towns are still mostly rubble. There are few inhabited homes or basic services, including water. Many Christians have given up and left for Europe, Australia or the United States. Others are trying to follow. Today, the number of Christians in Iraq is 150,000, compared to 1.5 million in 2003.
