Snippet:
Iranian-backed militias in Iraq were responsible for an attack on a key oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia. The Iraqi government confirmed on Saturday that the attack came from Iraq’s Maysan province. A local commander has been dismissed, the Rudaw media channel in Iraq said. Iraq has sought to prevent Saudi Arabia from retaliating by admitting the attack came from Iraq.
