Saudi Arabia’s Strikes in Iraq Mark Entry Into U.S.-Iran War.

Saudi Arabia has launched airstrikes within Iraq, targeting various Iran-backed militias. According to the kingdom’s defense ministry, these military actions serve as direct retaliation for attacks carried out against Saudi oil facilities earlier this week. These strategic strikes signify Saudi Arabia’s formal entry into the ongoing U.S.-Iran war, escalating regional tensions as the kingdom responds to threats against its critical energy infrastructure through targeted aerial operations against proxy forces in Iraq.
