The ongoing U.S.-Israel-Iran war has ignited a secondary diplomatic firestorm in Iraq, as Iran-aligned armed groups use Iraqi territory to launch an unprecedented wave of drone and missile strikes against the Arabian Peninsula. On Wednesday, a coalition of six Arab nations, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, issued a rare joint condemnation, holding the Baghdad government directly responsible for these cross-border attacks. The statement cited UN Security Council Resolution 2817, demanding an immediate halt to hostilities and asserting the nations’ right to self-defense under the UN Charter.

While Baghdad has officially rejected the use of its soil for such attacks, military analysts suggest the government is struggling to maintain control. Retired Iraqi Major-General Majed al-Qaisi reports that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq is now conducting between 21 and 31 operations daily, totaling over 454 strikes since the war began on February 28, 2026. These operations have targeted not only U.S. military assets but also critical civilian infrastructure, including energy plants and hotels, across the Gulf.
