Saudi and US conduct strikes in Iraq
Saudi forces, in coordination with the U.S. Central Command, conducted airstrikes against targets of Iran-backed armed groups within Iraq. These strikes came in response to organized drone attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh confirmed that it is not seeking escalation but will respond to any assault. The airstrikes hit logistical sites and weapons warehouses belonging to Iraqi groups loyal to Iran within Iraq. Meanwhile, Iranian Revolutionary Guard groups launched more than 30 drone attacks over the past few hours but did not achieve their goals. They called for a halt to the attacks and warned of further military responses. In Iraq, explosions occurred inside Popular Mobilization Forces sites in Basra and a camp in Wassef. The Iraqi government continues to investigate the attacks, reaffirming its rejection of using Iraqi territory to launch attacks against its neighbors, while armed groups denied responsibility for the incidents.
