In announcing those strikes, the U.S. warned that any further attacks on American troops or on Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure would risk additional military action. The command said the Revolutionary Guard and its affiliated groups "must cease these attacks to avoid further U.S. military response." Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi called an emergency meeting of the country's National Security Council on Wednesday to address the strikes on Iraqi territory. Saudi Arabia said Tuesday it had shot down drones fired by Iran-backed militias in Iraq for a second consecutive day. Al-Zaidi ordered Iraqi security agencies to investigate after Saudi Arabia alleged a similar attack on Monday, and the Iraqi military said the country remains committed to preventing its territory from being used as a launching point for attacks on other nations.
