Saudi Arabia Denies Targeting Iraqis in Air Strike

Saudi Arabia has repeatedly stated that its recent air strike in Iraq was not directed against the Iraqi people or government. The strike targeted military warehouses of militias that threatened the security of the Kingdom and attacked its civilian, economic, and vital oil facilities. The operation was a precise and limited response, taken after exhausting all diplomatic and political measures and demonstrating maximum restraint over the past months. Saudi officials have emphasized the Kingdom's commitment to its relationship with Iraq and condemned attempts to stir up sectarian divisions.
