Iraq's prime minister's office announced early Saturday that a military commander was dismissed after investigations confirmed the recent drone attacks on Saudi Arabia were launched from Iraqi territory. The commander oversaw operations in Maysan province in southern Iraq.

Iraq has ordered an investigation after Saudi Arabia said drones launched from Iraq targeted the East-West pipeline, with an Iraqi army spokesperson saying that "the state will not tolerate any activity that puts Iraq or its relations with brotherly and friendly countries at risk."

The U.S. is weighing invoking the Defense Production Act to expand oil refining capacity, as the Iran war drives fuel prices higher ahead of the midterms, according to Reuters. The act has never been used to add refining capacity. Executives say money would be better spent expanding existing plants, as new refineries would be costly and take years to complete.
