Alhurra: Washington and Riyadh Claimed They Warned Baghdad in Advance… But Their Own Narrative...

According to a report published by the U.S.-funded outlet Alhurra, Iraqi security and political sources revealed that the strikes targeting seven locations across Iraq early last Wednesday were not random, but part of a coordinated operation aimed at three Iraqi factions:

The Badr Organization

Harakat al-Nujaba

Kataib Hezbollah

The report states that the strikes were geographically divided, with:

Saudi aircraft conducting operations in southern Iraq, and

U.S. aircraft targeting sites in eastern and northern Iraq.

According to the report:

The Badr Organization was placed on the target list over attacks allegedly launched toward Jordan.

Harakat al-Nujaba was targeted over attacks on the Kurdistan Region.

Kataib Hezbollah was targeted over attacks allegedly directed at Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

The report further claims that the Iraqi government had received U.S. intelligence four days earlier, identifying the headquarters from which the attacks had allegedly originated. However, Baghdad reportedly took no operational action, prompting Washington and Riyadh—according to the account—to carry out the strikes themselves.

The report also states that the United States and Saudi Arabia informed the Iraqi government in advance that strikes would be carried out against several headquarters and requested that they be evacuated to avoid casualties.

However, they did not disclose which headquarters would be targeted, exposing a clear contradiction in the narrative:

How can facilities be evacuated if their locations are never identified?

This inconsistency undermines the claim that the objective was to prevent casualties and instead reinforces the impression that casualties among the personnel were anticipated and accepted as part of executing the operation.

This account aligns with the statement issued by the Iraqi National Security Council, which noted that the attack occurred

“while the Iraqi government was in communication with the concerned parties to verify and address all issues raised by the Saudi and American sides.”

U.S. President Donald Trump also stated that the strikes were carried out in coordination with the Iraqi government, adding to the political pressure on Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi.
