Iraqi MP Ahmed Rahim Al-Moussawi accused Saudi Arabia of 'brutal aggression' against Iraq and vowed it would not go unpunished, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The threat comes amid rising tensions between Iran-aligned Iraqi factions and Riyadh.
Iraqi MP Ahmed Rahim Al-Moussawi, a member of the Iraqi parliament, issued a stark warning to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, accusing the kingdom of 'brutal aggression' and 'a blatant violation of Iraqi sovereignty.' The statement, reported by Middle East security analyst Yair Goldblatt, comes as Saudi Arabia faces a multi-front pressure campaign from Iran-aligned forces. As The Zioneer has reported, Iraqi Shia militias recently joined Houthi strikes on Saudi oil facilities, contributing to a broader escalation in the region. Al-Moussawi's rhetoric reflects the deepening rift between pro-Iranian political blocs in Iraq and the Saudi-led coalition, though it remains unclear whether his statement represents an official parliamentary position or a personal view. The threat is the latest in a series of hostile exchanges between the two sides, following Saudi warnings to the Houthis and retaliatory threats from Iranian proxies.
