Iraq Denies Coordination in US-Saudi Strikes

Iraq denied authorizing or having prior knowledge of US-Saudi strikes that killed at least 20 members of Iran-backed Popular Mobilisation Forces, rejecting President Trump's claim of coordination. Government spokesperson Haider al-Aboudi said Baghdad had not approved attacks on specific sites or groups, as Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani postponed a planned visit to Saudi Arabia following the strikes.
