Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the attacks targeting the residences of the leader of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan, Nechirvan Barzani, and the attacks targeting Iraqi Kurdistan, the Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said a statement: "Saudi Arabia emphasizes its rejection of anything that threatens the security and stability of Iraq and affirms its solidarity with Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, as well as its support for their security and stability."

Since the launch of the US-Israeli offensive against Iran on February 28, Iraq has been drawn into a regional conflict it has sought to avoid.

Pro-Iranian groups in Iraq claim responsibility on a daily basis for drone attacks and rocket strikes targeting the US military presence, both within Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.

These attacks have targeted the US Embassy in Baghdad and personnel for an international anti-extremist coalition deployed in Iraq.
