Ali al-Zaidi confirmed on Thursday that he had issued directives to investigate the criminal attacks targeting Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

In a statement published on the X platform, al-Zaidi said: “We reiterate our condemnation and denunciation of the criminal act that targeted the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the sisterly United Arab Emirates.”

He added: “We have instructed that an investigation be carried out into the circumstances surrounding these criminal attacks, and a high-level investigative committee was established during the first meeting of the National Security Council.”

He stressed “the importance of conducting a joint investigation with our brothers in both countries to examine all evidence and indications relating to the use of Iraqi territory in the attacks, in order to take all necessary security and legal measures against those involved.”

He further affirmed Iraq’s rejection of “the use of Iraqi territory and airspace as a launch point for attacks against brotherly and friendly nations”, adding that Iraq “remains a region where shared interests converge.”
