Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi held an emergency meeting with national security forces on Saturday to address concerns regarding regional stability. Following the session, the Prime Minister announced that the government would implement "deterrent measures" aimed at preventing any attacks on neighboring countries that are launched from within Iraq's borders.

The government's statement comes in the wake of recent drone attacks targeting energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. These strikes have been attributed to the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), a state-sanctioned paramilitary group operating within Iraq. While the Prime Minister’s office confirmed that new security protocols are being established, the specific nature of these measures remains undisclosed. The announcement reflects growing pressure on the Iraqi government to manage the actions of various armed factions operating within its territory to avoid being drawn into broader regional conflicts.
