During the emergency session of the Iraqi parliament, speaker Saadoun Hammadi condemned the US war ultimatum delivered to Saddam Hussein.

"We reject and denounce it, and we are all standing together behind our leader, and we're ready to defend our land," Mr Hammadi said, as several MPs chanted their support for Saddam Hussein.

His comments echoed defiant statements from the Iraqi president, who appeared on television to ready the country for its "last battle" against the US.
