The Iraqi government ordered the dismissal of the commander of the Maysan Operations Command on Saturday following investigations into attacks on Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure. Authorities confirmed that the strikes originated from the Maysan province, located in southeastern Iraq near the Iranian border.
In response to the security breach, Baghdad has also mandated the closure of border crossings with Iran. The measures reflect an effort by the Iraqi administration to address the cross-border security implications of the incident and manage regional tensions stemming from the origin of the attacks.
