Saudi Arabia Summons Iraqi Ambassador Over Attacks It Says Were Launched From Iraq

The protest signals rising concern over cross-border attacks tied to the IranUSIsrael conflict.

Overview

  • Saudi Arabia summoned Iraq's ambassador to lodge a formal complaint over attacks it says originated on Iraqi territory.
  • The foreign ministry said the attacks targeted the kingdom and other Gulf states, citing the Saudi Press Agency.
  • The step followed a similar complaint from the United States, according to AFP reporting.
  • Pro‑Iranian groups in Iraq had claimed daily attacks on enemy bases before pausing operations on April 8 after a temporary USIran ceasefire.
  • No official response from Iraq was reported, which leaves open how Baghdad will rein in armed groups and stop cross‑border fire.
