Iraq’s FM says external parties using Iraqi soil to attack neighbours

Iraq has evidence that external parties have been using its territory to launch attacks on neighbouring countries, its foreign minister says. Baghdad is investigating attacks launched from Iraqi territory against Gulf states and is seeking to resolve disagreements with Saudi Arabia through dialogue, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein told Al Jazeera in an exclusive interview on Saturday. Saudi Arabia has accused Iran-aligned groups operating from Iraq of attacking its oil infrastructure. In September, Baghdad confirmed that drone attacks on the kingdom’s east-west pipeline originated from Iraqi territory.
