The Iraqi Armed Forces spokesman announced that Iraq has begun implementing a security plan to prevent a potential attack on Saudi Arabia, according to a statement. No details on the plan's scope or timeline were provided.
The Iraqi Armed Forces spokesman announced early Friday that Baghdad has begun implementing a security plan to thwart a possible attack on Saudi Arabia. The statement, carried by official Iraqi channels, did not specify the nature of the threat, the plan's operational details, or its timeline. The announcement comes amid elevated regional tensions, with Iraqi territory having been used in recent months for drone and missile launches targeting Saudi Arabia. As The Zioneer has reported, Iraqi officials have previously stated that Baghdad would not allow its territory to be used for attacks against neighboring countries. The new security plan appears to be a concrete step toward enforcing that policy, though the speaker offered no evidence of implementation or specific measures.
