Iraqi Pipeline Attack Sparks Regional Tensions | Global News

Iraq’s government is scrambling to contain fallout from a major attack on a key Saudi oil pipeline, blaming its own territory and firing top officials as it vows to investigate. The strike, occurring amid ongoing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and suspected coordination with Iraqi militias, threatens global oil prices and regional stability. While U.S. President Trump points fingers at Iran without endorsing war, Iran denies involvement and insists it seeks no conflict with Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Iran-backed militias in Iraq, despite denying responsibility, publicly backed the Houthis and pledged cooperation with Iraq’s probe — even as Baghdad closes borders with Iran and pressures them to disarm by deadline. Arab nations are condemning the assault, underscoring the fragility of Middle East peace as tensions simmer beneath the surface.
