# Iraq’s Ministerial Council for National Security has instructed the country’s Foreign Ministry to pursue legal action against the US and Saudi Arabia. This comes after the two countries launched strikes on Iran-backed militia in Iraq yesterday. The US Central Command stated that the strikes were against Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps directed to attack American forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. At least 20 people were killed and 32 wounded in strikes on logistics and weapons sites. Iraq says it will confront any violation of its sovereignty.
