The war in Iran has taken a significant turn even as the Memorandum of Understanding to stop the fighting is supposed to be in progress. Saudi Arabia, in coordination with the US, has carried out strikes inside Iraq against armed groups with ties to Iran. Riyadh accused the Popular Mobilisation Forces -- or PMF -- of attacking its oil facilities. The strikes have ignited fears of an escalation. Now, the PMF is promising to retaliate. And one of its factions has given the Iraqi government a week to respond to the Saudi attacks. What could happen if it doesn't?
