Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday denounced joint strikes by the United States and Saudi Arabia against militias in Iraq that are described as being backed by Iran.
According to the ministry’s statement, Tehran strongly objected to the attacks and framed them as a serious development involving armed groups operating inside Iraq. The response places the incident within a wider pattern of tension involving Iran, Washington and Riyadh.
The reported strikes targeted Iraqi militias linked to Iran, adding another flashpoint to an already fragile regional security picture. Any military action involving outside powers in Iraq is likely to draw close scrutiny because of the country’s sensitive political and security balance.
Iran’s condemnation signals that the issue could deepen friction between the countries involved. With few additional details immediately available, the episode is likely to remain a focus in regional diplomacy and security discussions.
