The Iraqi government has launched an official investigation into allegations that drones used in attacks on Saudi Arabia were launched from Iraqi territory. The move follows information shared by Saudi authorities and reflects Baghdad’s commitment to ensuring its land is not used to threaten neighboring countries.

According to a statement issued by the office of the Iraqi prime minister, Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, who also serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, has instructed the relevant security agencies to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the reported drone incidents.

The government said the investigation will examine all evidence and information provided by Saudi Arabia to determine whether Iraqi territory was used in planning or carrying out the attacks. Officials emphasized that the inquiry will be conducted thoroughly and that any individuals or groups found responsible will face legal action in accordance with Iraqi law.

Baghdad reiterated its constitutional commitment to maintaining good relations with neighboring countries and stressed that it does not permit its territory to be used for attacks against friendly or brotherly nations. The statement underlined Iraq’s policy of respecting the sovereignty and security of regional partners while working to preserve stability across the Middle East.

The Iraqi government also described its relationship with Saudi Arabia as strong and based on mutual respect and cooperation. Officials said they are determined to protect these ties and will not allow any actions that could damage bilateral relations or create unnecessary regional tensions.

The investigation comes at a time when security concerns remain high across the Middle East. Governments in the region continue to cooperate on intelligence sharing and border security to address threats posed by cross-border attacks and other security challenges.

By launching the investigation promptly, Iraqi authorities aim to clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged drone attacks and demonstrate their commitment to accountability. The government has pledged to take appropriate legal measures if the investigation confirms that Iraqi territory was misused for hostile activities.

The latest development also highlights the importance of regional cooperation in addressing shared security concerns. Iraq has reaffirmed that maintaining peaceful relations with neighboring states remains a key priority and that it will continue working with Saudi Arabia and other regional partners to promote stability, strengthen diplomatic ties, and prevent incidents that could escalate tensions in the region.
