Local Iran-backed militias were accused of carrying out the attacks. Iraq's government worked Saturday to contain the fallout.
It removed its Maysan military commander. Iraq also opened investigations into the attack.
These steps followed reports blaming Iraqi territory for the attacks. The reports also blamed Iran-backed militias.
