Baghdad Confirms Attack on Saudi Pipeline Came From Iraq
Iraq ordered an investigation and dismissed a provincial commander after confirming the attack was launched from Maysan province, while Saudi Arabia shut the pipeline as a precaution.
- On Friday, Saudi Arabia confirmed a drone attack on its East-West Pipeline originated from Iraq, prompting Iraqi Prime Minister Zaidi to order an investigation and dismiss the military commander in Maysan province.
- The Houthis and Iraqi Shiite groups operate as part of the "Axis of Resistance," opposing the United States and Israel, with Baghdad facing continued pressure from Washington to control these armed factions.
- Calling it a "precautionary measure," Saudi Arabia shut down the pipeline following attacks in Medina and Riyadh, and the kingdom is refraining from retaliation to provide Iraq an opportunity to "take the necessary measures."
- President Donald Trump said Saturday that Iran was "probably" responsible for the attack, noting, "The Houthis called us, and they don't want to fight with us," while letting most ships pass through.
- Iraqi officials vowed that the country's territory will not serve as a launchpad for further attacks, as the government faces a September 30 deadline to disarm Iran-aligned militias that have defied Baghdad's orders.
