美国和沙特阿拉伯对伊拉克人民动员组织的军事基地发动空袭[1]。沙特方面指控伊拉克武装组织在周一和周二发动了无人机袭击[1]。人民动员组织称此次空袭造成至少20人死亡、32人受伤[1]。伊拉克国家安全委员会随即谴责美沙空袭，称造成"无辜者伤亡"并损害伊拉克国家[1]。
伊拉克总理阿尔-扎伊迪面临的政治压力不断增加。他曾承诺在9月30日前解除非国家武装组织的武装[1]，但许多与伊朗关系密切的强大派系拒绝配合[1]。与此同时，阿尔-扎伊迪对沙特阿拉伯的访问无限期推迟[1]，反映出伊拉克国内因美沙空袭而加剧的紧张局势。
Iraq's government finds itself navigating an increasingly precarious diplomatic position as tensions between the United States and Iran escalate across its borders. The US and Saudi Arabia conducted airstrikes targeting bases of the Popular Mobilization Forces, a coalition of Iraqi militias with close ties to Iran, which the Saudi government accused of launching drone attacks against Saudi oil facilities on Monday and Tuesday [1]. According to the Popular Mobilization Forces, the airstrikes resulted in at least 20 deaths and 32 injuries [1].
Prime Minister Mohamed al-Sudani has set a September 30 deadline for non-state armed groups to surrender their weapons, a commitment aimed at consolidating state control over Iraq's fragmented security landscape [1]. However, many powerful factions aligned with Iran have refused to comply with the disarmament initiative [1]. Iraq's National Security Council condemned the US and Saudi airstrikes, stating they caused "innocent casualties" and damaged Iraq's national interests [1]. The diplomatic fallout has been significant enough that al-Sudani's planned visit to Saudi Arabia has been postponed indefinitely [1].
