Al-Zaidi orders urgent investigation into circumstances of attacks on Saudi Arabia

The Iraqi government expressed its condemnation of the attacks that targeted the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reaffirming its rejection of any aggression that undermines the Kingdom’s security and stability or harms the deep-rooted fraternal relations between the two countries. The Iraqi government commended the Kingdom’s stance and its responsiveness to the efforts undertaken by Iraq to contain the situation, noting that this reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to Iraq’s security and stability, as well as its dedication to continuing the path of fraternal relations and cooperation in a manner that serves the interests of the two brotherly peoples.

In a statement, it was clarified that Iraqi Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ali al-Zoubi, ordered an urgent investigation into the circumstances of the attacks and the entities behind them, and that legal measures would be taken against anyone proven to be involved. He emphasized that the Iraqi state would not tolerate any activity that endangers Iraq or its relations with friendly countries.

The Iraqi government affirmed that it would continue to work with brotherly and friendly nations to prevent the recurrence of such attacks, to reinforce respect for the law and the principles of good neighborliness, and to protect Iraq’s interests while enhancing its positive role in its regional environment. It reiterated that Iraqi territory and airspace would not be used as a launching point for attacks against any state, and that its policy is based on respecting the sovereignty of states, rejecting aggression against them, and working to ensure that its relations with its regional neighbors serve as a bridge for cooperation and stability, rather than a arena for tension and conflict.
