Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi announced an emergency security meeting on Wednesday in response to military strikes conducted within Iraqi territory. The operation, which involved both US Central Command (Centcom) and the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces, targeted groups identified as Iran-aligned.

According to reports, the joint military action was a retaliatory measure following a series of drone and missile attacks against Saudi oil facilities. These attacks have been attributed to Iranian-allied forces operating out of both Yemen and Iraq. While the US military characterized the operation as a series of "precision strikes," the resulting damage in the Diyala region has prompted immediate concern from the Iraqi government regarding national sovereignty and regional stability.

There is a discrepancy in the reporting regarding the specific scope of the conflict; while the sources focus on the immediate security meeting and the retaliatory nature of the strikes, they provide limited information on the specific casualties or the exact locations of the targeted facilities beyond the Diyala region. The situation remains fluid as Iraqi officials assess the impact of the strikes and the potential for further escalation between the involved regional powers.
