Iraqi premier al-Zaydi announces 'deterrent measures' against playing role in regional hostilities
Iraqi premier Ali al-Zaydi announced 'deterrent measures' to prevent Iraqi territory from being used in regional attacks, following emergency meetings with security forces. The move comes after the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) launched drone strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure, prompting US and Saudi retaliatory strikes, and amid attacks on Iranian Kurdish groups in Iraq attributed to Iran.
