Iraq's commission governing media has announced plans to revoke the license of a Saudi television station after it referred to leaders of Iranian proxies as terrorists. The announcement came after supporters of Iraqi militias stormed and looted the office of the broadcaster in Baghdad. The report mentioned former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden alongside a roster of Iran-backed figures. The controversy comes amid heightened regional tensions surrounding the wars between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
