Al-Zaidi visits Riyadh after becoming Iraq Prime Minister
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi arrived in Riyadh, marking his first visit since taking office in May, to discuss security and economic issues and to strengthen cooperation with Saudi Arabia amidst tensions arising from attacks launched from Iraq targeting Saudi facilities. The visit comes after it was canceled in July due to attacks on Popular Mobilization Forces’ headquarters, during which Saudi Arabia and Washington responded with strikes targeting Iranian-linked sites inside Iraq. Investigations confirmed that the attacks on Saudi Arabia originated from Maysan Province. Al-Zaydi also emphasized the need to establish deterrent mechanisms to prevent threats emanating from Iraq against neighboring countries, amid escalating security tensions in the region.
