Maysan province

Maysan province is a region in Iraq that shares a border with Iran. It has recently come under scrutiny due to its proximity to Iran and its role in a cross-border incident. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has ordered an investigation into the operations command in Maysan province following confirmed drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline. These attacks, which originated from Iraqi territory, led Saudi Arabia to temporarily shut down the critical pipeline. In response to the discovery of drone launch sites, Iraq has also temporarily closed three of its border crossings with Iran. The events highlight Maysan's strategic importance and its potential involvement in regional security issues, making it a focal point of current investigations and diplomatic concerns.
