A scandal has erupted in Iraq: National Security Advisor Qasim al-Aboudi publicly accused Ukrainian intelligence of involvement in a series of recent terrorist attacks. He cited data from an unnamed analytical group that supposedly revealed 'Ukrainian interference,' but could not specify targets, timelines, or locations. Moreover, minutes later he himself urged not to rush to conclusions. This is al-Aboudi's first major statement in office; he is considered an ally of the new prime minister. The accusations come amid a sharp escalation between Ukraine and Iran: Zelensky claimed Moscow helped prepare Iranian strikes on US targets, as well as attacks on ships in the Caspian Sea. Iran threatened retaliatory strikes. The article references Middle Eastern media and the Dijlah TV channel.
