Iraq probes drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, shuts three crossings to Iran

Did Iran capture a US submarine? Iraq has closed some border crossings with Iran while investigating drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline that it confirms were launched from its territory. The Iraqi government temporarily closed three of its crossings into Iran after drone launch sites were discovered in the country, an Iraqi security source told Al Jazeera on Saturday. He said that Iraq had primarily ordered the closure of the crossings over fears that the perpetrators of attacks could flee to Iran. Hewson also said the al-Tayyib border area of the southeastern province of Maysan had been shut after drone launchers were discovered there, and a search operation was under way.
