Shafaq News- Baghdad
The Iraqi government condemned on Tuesday drone attacks
targeting Saudi Arabia, while affirming that Iraqi military authorities had
found no evidence that Iraqi airspace was used in the alleged operation last
week.
Spokesperson Bassem Al-Awadi stated that Iraq remains
committed to supporting efforts aimed at reducing tensions and preventing such
incidents regardless of their source, adding that Iraqi institutions are
prepared to cooperate and verify relevant details.
On May 18, Iraq’s Foreign Ministry announced an
investigation into how the aircraft crossed Iraqi territory undetected after
Saudi Arabia said it had intercepted and destroyed three drones that entered
the Kingdom’s airspace.
Saudi Arabia also summoned Iraq’s ambassador on April 12 to
protest attacks allegedly launched from Iraqi territory.
Since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran, several Iraqi
armed factions have claimed responsibility for drone and missile attacks
targeting sites inside and outside Iraq, including military facilities and
strategic locations linked to US and Israeli interests.
