Iraq shuts 3 border crossings after Saudi Arabia targets it
A drone attack targeting an oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia led Iraq to close three border crossings with Iran, including one in Maysan Province, where the local operations commander and police chief were dismissed after it was confirmed that the attack originated within the province. While no entity has claimed responsibility, the Iraqi government confirmed that the closed crossings include Shalamcheh, Shib, and Mandali, as part of intelligence efforts to track down the perpetrators and prevent drone smuggling. A coalition of Iraqi armed factions also stated that they are not involved. Additionally, Saudi Arabia temporarily halted oil pipeline operations following the attack and expressed its support for Iraqi efforts to put an end to such assaults from Iraqi territory.
