Saudi-US strikes on Popular Mobilization Forces
The Saudi and American attacks on the locations of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq came in response to drone strikes carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Iraqi factions loyal to it on Saudi oil facilities, which resulted in the deaths of 20 people and injuries to 32 others, in addition to destroying weapon warehouses and causing damage to buildings. This escalating tension threatens Iraq’s stability and heightens regional tensions. The armed factions have threatened to target Saudi companies in Iraq, while the Iraqi Prime Minister canceled his planned visit to Saudi Arabia amid accusations against Iranian and Iraqi parties of involvement in the escalation. Analysts believe that this increase in tension reflects an attempt to reduce the influence of Iran-backed factions within Iraq, with potential efforts to resume political dialogue and negotiations between the United States and Iran to avoid the region entering into a wider war.
