On 14 September, Saudi Arabia reported that drones launched from Iraq struck its East-West oil pipeline, and Iraqi security authorities said launch equipment connected to the attack had been recovered. Ali al-Fatlawi, a leader in Ansar Allah al-Awfiya, told Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) that there was no evidence factions conducted the attack, that Saudi Arabia knew it was executed by non-Iraqi hands, that Ukraine or Israel could have used internal tools, and that factional retaliation against Saudi Arabia remained deferred. Al-Ahad TV subsequently captioned al-Fatlawi as considering Iraqi hands possible, then returned to his non-Iraqi-hands formulation.
