Saudi Arabia demands that Iraq prevent drone attacks originating from Iraqi territory

Saudi armed forces shot down several drones launched from Iraqi territory and aimed at oil facilities, the Saudi Ministry of Defense announced on Monday, attributing the attacks to Iran-backed armed groups.

Following the incident, Saudi Arabia requested the authorities in Baghdad to prevent the use of Iraqi territory for launching attacks.

This incident occurs in a context of temporary calm in hostilities between the United States and Iran, after a series of armed confrontations.

Additionally, Houthi rebels in Yemen, supported by Iran, recently claimed drone attacks against Saudi oil infrastructures, escalating tensions in the region.
