Saudi Arabia says drones launched from Iraq hit its East-West pipeline. In a statement, the Saudi foreign ministry says it is not retaliating at present, following a request from Iraq’s prime minister.
The ministry says Saudi Arabia “reserves the right to take all necessary measures” to protect its sovereignty, security, and critical infrastructure. The reports describe the attack as involving drones originating from Iraq, but do not provide additional details on the extent of damage or responsibility beyond that attribution.
Both outlets present the same core account: Saudi Arabia publicly attributes the incident to drones launched from Iraq, pauses any response for now, and signals that it retains the option of retaliation if circumstances change. The coverage focuses on Saudi messaging and the decision to delay action rather than on an independent investigation or further regional reactions.
