US and Saudi Arabia Unite Against Iraqi Resistance

The US and Saudi Arabia have launched a joint aerial aggression against several bases and weapons depots belonging to Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMU), also known as Hashd al-Sha’abi. The attacks were claimed to be in response to recent drone strikes against Saudi oil facilities.

Turki al-Maliki, spokesperson for the Saudi defense ministry, stated that the kingdom, in coordination with CENTCOM, had struck specific targets involved in recent attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) also announced the joint aggression, saying it targeted several logistical bases and weapons storage facilities in eastern Iraq. According to CENTCOM, the aggression was launched in response to more than 30 drone attacks allegedly launched over the past 72 hours from Iraqi territory against Saudi oil facilities.
