Iraqi Armed Factions Deny Targeting Saudi Vital Installations, Seek Probe

Iraqi armed factions on Saturday denied targeting vital Saudi installations, calling accusations baseless and lacking credible evidence. In a statement, the factions dismissed allegations of hitting Saudi facilities last Friday as "an honor we do not claim." They voiced strong astonishment at the Iraqi government's swift adoption of these claims, citing an absence of tangible evidence or precise investigations. The statement suggested such blame and diversion tactics are a failed attempt to mask successive defeats by Saudi forces and their proxies in Yemen. The groups reaffirmed unwavering support for Yemenis, besieged by the Saudi regime for over a decade. They also warned against "malicious Zionist-American schemes" aiming to drag Iraq into crises benefiting only its adversaries. Finally, the factions expressed readiness to join any government investigation to ascertain the truth, rejecting "suspicious narratives."
