Saudi Arabia has said it will not retaliate and wants Iraq to "take the necessary measures." Baghdad is under pressure from the United States to rein in Iran-backed militias.
Funny you mention that. Apparently, the president vetoed the previous PM pick for Iraq, (they were given a weak parlimentary system to prevent a strongman taking over, just as we did with Japan and Germany,) and orchestrated this newer guy getting in.
The newer guy just went on a purge of the elite, targeting the shia iranian connected elite.
The Iraqi PM is the president’s bitch. The US will only need to help them with ntel. Normally an airstrike or two but they are stretched thin.
Lol won’t stop the USA from taking a little expedition
