The Iraqi government is pushing back against allegations that its territory was used as a staging ground for attacks against Saudi Arabia. A spokesperson for the commander-in-chief of Iraq’s armed forces stated that Baghdad has yet to receive any evidence or proof from international partners or Saudi authorities to substantiate these claims.

According to the spokesperson, the Iraqi government is currently working on a comprehensive security plan intended to protect the nation's sovereignty and prevent any potential use of its territory for regional hostilities. The Iraqi military leadership also suggested that current tensions and what they described as "US-Saudi aggression" have complicated their internal efforts to investigate these allegations. While the Iraqi government maintains it is committed to regional security, it insists that any accusations regarding the origin of the attacks must be backed by verifiable data rather than speculation. As of now, the situation remains a point of diplomatic friction, with Iraq positioning itself as a party seeking clarity while defending its national borders against unauthorized use.
