Iraqi security forces are on high alert and monitoring the movements of Iraqi 'resistance' factions to prevent any attack from Iraq directed at Saudi Arabia, according to Iraqi media reports.
The report, attributed to Iraqi media outlets, indicates that Baghdad is taking proactive steps to prevent its territory from being used for attacks against Saudi Arabia. The move comes amid a broader regional escalation, with the US-led coalition engaged in a direct military campaign against Iran and Iran-backed militias across the region. As The Zioneer has reported, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq have all declared heightened alert levels in recent days, reflecting fears of spillover from the US-Iran confrontation. The Iraqi security forces' monitoring of the factions—commonly referred to as the 'Iraqi resistance'—suggests concern that these groups may attempt to launch attacks on Saudi territory, which could expand the conflict. No further details on the alert level or the specific factions being monitored were provided. The situation remains developing.
