Iraqi Prime Minister Faces Challenges Following Drone Attack on Saudi Oil Pipeline

A drone attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, launched from Iraqi territory, has raised concerns about Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's ability to control armed factions. The attack, which threatened 4 percent of global oil supplies, has led to increased Brent crude prices and prompted international scrutiny of al-Zaidi's efforts to bring armed groups under state control. Despite swift actions taken by the Prime Minister, including dismissals and military deployments, many observers question the effectiveness of these measures in addressing the underlying issues of factional control in Iraq.
