He also said that he will not allow attacks from Iraq against other countries in the region.

Al-Zaidi office stated in a statement: Iraq's firm position is not to allow its territory to be used as a launching pad for any attack or action that affects the security of the kingdom and the countries of the region, and it is eager to observe the principles of good neighborliness and respect for the sovereignty of Iraq and brotherly and friendly countries.

Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline was hit by drones last month during the Houthis' lightning attack on Yemen.

The attack forced Riyadh to temporarily close the export route used by Saudi Arabia as an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz.

The pipeline, which has a maximum production capacity of seven million barrels per day, has since resumed operations.

Saudi Arabia has said that the drone attack started from Iraq. Baghdad conducted its own investigation and concluded that the attacks were carried out from Iraqi territory.
