On Sunday, April 12th, Saudi Arabia called in Iraq’s diplomatic representative to address ongoing drone attacks originating from within Iraq’s borders that are endangering Saudi Arabia and fellow Gulf region countries.
According to a statement released by Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry, officials “emphasised the importance of Iraq dealing responsibly with these threats and attacks” during the diplomatic meeting.
The formal summoning of the Iraqi ambassador represents an escalation in diplomatic pressure as Saudi Arabia seeks to address the unmanned aerial vehicle strikes that have been launched from Iraqi territory.
