Shafaq News- Beirut<\/p>\n
Lebanon’s Hezbollah condemned the US-Saudi attack on Iraq,
\ncalling it a “blatant and flagrant violation” of international law
\nand Iraq’s sovereignty and independence.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the group said the strike targeted an
\nofficial Iraqi institution, adding the incident could have serious consequences
\nfor the wider region and would only serve \u201cthe US-Israeli plan to destabilize
\nthe Middle East and fuel regional tensions and conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSaudi Arabia should have pursued dialogue and diplomatic
\nengagement with the Iraqi government to address any disputes or tensions
\ninstead of following US and Israeli policies.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hezbollah called for an urgent, firm, and responsible Arab,
\nIslamic, and international response to end US policies that it characterized as
\naggressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a state-affiliated
\nsecurity organization that includes multiple armed factions, said at least 20
\nof its members were killed and 32 others were wounded after strikes targeted
\nofficial PMF facilities in several Iraqi provinces.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia said it launched the strikes after
\naccusing Iranian-backed Iraqi armed factions of carrying out drone attacks
\nagainst energy facilities inside the Kingdom. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated
\nthat Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had directed more than 30
\naerial attacks over a 72-hour period against US forces and Saudi infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
