Iraq’s National Security Council convened Wednesday to address heightened security concerns following airstrikes conducted by the United States and Saudi Arabia. The council determined a need for a comprehensive national defense plan to safeguard the country’s security interests. Details of the plan’s scope and implementation timeline were not immediately released. This decision comes in direct response to the earlier military actions undertaken by Washington and Riyadh. The Iraqi government has not yet publicly commented on the nature of the US and Saudi strikes, but the formation of this defense plan signals a serious consideration of potential regional instability. The move indicates Iraq's intent to proactively address threats and reinforce its sovereign security. Further announcements regarding the plan are expected in the coming days.
