Shiite militias in Iraq have intensified their campaign against Saudi Arabia, with calls for an invasion of the kingdom, according to a post by The Zioneer. The analysis notes that the situation is becoming increasingly complicated.
As The Zioneer previously reported, pro-Iranian Iraqi channels launched an incitement campaign against Saudi Arabia earlier this week, following strikes attributed to the US and Saudi Arabia. The current post reflects a further escalation in rhetoric, though no independent verification of concrete military preparations is available. The analysis also includes a dismissive tone toward the militias' calls, suggesting that Saudi Arabia's allies would not come to its defense.
