Iraq calls urgent security meeting after US and Saudi attacks

Iraq's Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi convened an urgent security meeting following joint US-Saudi airstrikes on pro-Iranian forces in Iraq, which killed at least 10 members of the Popular Mobilisation forces. The attacks occurred amid escalating tensions, including drone strikes by Iranian allies on Saudi oil infrastructure and retaliatory Houthi attacks on Saudi targets. Saudi Arabia and Iran have been indirectly involved in regional clashes, with Houthis also blockading the Bab al-Mandeb Strait to target Saudi vessels.
