Iraq dismisses Maysan Operations Chief
The Iraqi Prime Minister, Ali Falah al-Zeid, ordered the dismissal of the Maysan Operations Commander after it was confirmed that attacks on Saudi Arabia—targeting the East-West pipeline with drones launched from Iraq—originated from the province. Baghdad was instructed to form an investigation council to hold those responsible accountable. Meanwhile, Iraq and Saudi Arabia emphasized the importance of continuing coordination and consultation to support security and stability in the region, especially following attacks on Saudi oil facilities that resulted in injuries and damage. The pipeline, which extends over 1,200 kilometers and is one of Saudi Arabia's most vital oil transportation arteries, became a major focus in 2026 after disturbances in the Strait of Hormuz. It is used to transport oil from the east to the western coast and has repeatedly been targeted by armed groups linked to Iran.
