In an interview with Al Jazeera, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein stated that Iraq seeks to resolve its differences with Saudi Arabia through candid dialogue. Previously, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaydi assured Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that Iraq would not allow its territory to be used to launch attacks against Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline was previously targeted by drone strikes; Riyadh claimed the attacks originated from Iraq, and an investigation by Baghdad subsequently confirmed that the strikes were indeed launched from within Iraqi territory.
