Saudi Arabia's influence
The Saudi oil pipeline "East-West" was targeted by drone attacks originating from Iraqi territory, targeting the Riyadh and Madinah regions, which led to a precautionary halt of the pipeline. The Kingdom demonstrated a responsible stance, reaffirming its support for the Iraqi government's efforts to contain the attack, while reserving the right to respond to protect its facilities and citizens. Iraqi authorities dismissed the commander of Maysan operations and introduced security measures, including closing three border crossings with Iran and launching an investigation to identify those responsible. Washington suggested that Iran might be behind the attacks, while Iraq stressed that its territory will not be used for assaults on other countries.
