Iraq strengthens desert defenses after Saudi strikes
Iraq is currently working to strengthen control over the desert areas in Al-Muthanna Province to prevent armed groups from exploiting them to transfer weapons and drones and carry out attacks on Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. These measures come in response to escalating threats involving drone use and regional conflicts, as the area has experienced attacks targeting Saudi targets, which have been attributed to Iran-linked groups. The "Desert Operations Command" has been established to integrate aerial surveillance and ground monitoring, aiming to close geographical and security gaps and prevent desert regions from being used as routes for arms smuggling or drone launches. This effort is part of Baghdad's broader initiatives to reinforce its sovereignty and reject any attempts by armed groups to use its territory to threaten neighboring countries.
