The government will release a statement outlining the course of the events and decisions taken in response to them.

Iraqi Prime Minister Calls Urgent Security Council Meeting After US-Saudi Strikes
BAGHDAD (Sputnik) - Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi will convene an emergency meeting of the National Security Council on Wednesday in response to airstrikes launched by the United States and Saudi Arabia on Shiite militia facilities, the Iraqi government's Security Media Cell said.
"Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ali Faleh al-Zaidi, has directed the convening of an emergency meeting of the National Security Council in response to the security situation and aerial bombardment," the Media Cell said on X.
The government will release a statement outlining the course of the events and decisions taken in response to them.
