Saudi Arabia downs drones targeting oil facilities from Iraq
It called on the Iraqi government to take all necessary measures to ensure that Iraqi territory is not used as “a launching point” for attacks against Saudi Arabia.
There has been no comment from Iraq on the Saudi statement as of yet.
The incident comes despite a recent lull in direct military exchanges between the US and Iran.
On Sunday, an Iranian military spokesperson said Tehran halted its military operations after the US had stopped its attacks against Iran in the past two days.
According to Axios, US President Donald Trump ordered the military to suspend further strikes on Iran after nearly two weeks of daily attacks.
Tensions between the US and Iran have intensified in recent weeks, with Washington carrying out attacks on Iran and Tehran responding by targeting what it said were US military facilities and equipment in countries across the region.
