Iraq Warned by Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria Over Iran‑Backed Militia Attacks
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria have each issued warnings to Iraq that any attacks launched from Iraqi territory by Iran‑backed militias against their nations will be met with direct strikes on those groups inside Iraq. The warnings follow recent U.S.–Saudi airstrikes on the militias after drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities that were traced to Iraq. Iraq’s prime minister, Ali Faleh al‑Zaidi, said Baghdad is prepared to act against the militias, is working to bring weapons under state control and has raised military readiness, updating radar and early‑warning systems. Kuwait also conveyed a similar warning through indirect channels. Iran’s foreign ministry warned neighboring states that allowing U.S. or Israeli operations from their territory would bring consequences. The escalating diplomatic pressure reflects growing regional tension over the use of Iraqi soil by Iran‑aligned armed factions.
