Attacks on Saudi oil expose Iraqi PM’s struggle to control armed factions

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi faces a crucial test of his commitment to control armed groups following a drone attack launched from Iraqi territory, threatening about 4 percent of global oil supplies. Although no group has claimed responsibility, launch traces were identified near the Duwayrij River in Maysan province. A senior official suggested that a splinter group may be involved, highlighting issues of factions operating outside the state's chain of command.
