The Iraqi government issued a firm and official stance strongly condemning the recent drone attacks that targeted the territory of the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The government spokesperson emphasized the depth of the historical relations linking Iraq with its

Arab and regional surroundings, stressing Baghdad's full commitment to supporting the region's stability and rejecting any escalatory actions that could undermine regional security. Iraqi security authorities denied detecting any hostile aerial activity through their airspace coinciding with the incident, expressing

complete readiness for intelligence cooperation to uncover the circumstances of the attack. The government renewed its sovereign commitment to refusing the use of Iraq's territory, airspace, or territorial waters to carry out any attacks against neighboring countries, vowing to take

deterrent and decisive measures against any party attempting to compromise the state's sovereignty or harm its diplomatic relations.
