Pro-Iranian Iraqi channels have opened a campaign of incitement against Saudi Arabia, following strikes attributed to the US and Saudi Arabia. The campaign includes calls for a boycott of Saudi products and propaganda portraying the kingdom as 'identified with Israel,' according to regional monitoring accounts.
The incitement campaign follows recent attacks attributed to the US and Saudi Arabia, which pro-Iranian media have framed as aggression against the axis. The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of Iranian proxy operations targeting Saudi Arabia, including Houthi strikes and alleged launches toward US bases in the kingdom. The current campaign appears to be an information-warfare response by Iraqi channels aligned with Tehran.
