US-Iran conflict enters new phase as Saudi Arabia helps hit proxies and diplomacy stalls again
The joint strikes killed at least 20 militia fighters and six Iranian advisers, as the conflict widened to new fronts and further threatened regional shipping.
- On Wednesday, Iran launched ballistic missiles at United States forces as the U.S. and Saudi Arabia conducted joint strikes against Tehran-backed militias in neighboring Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers.
- Deep mistrust between Washington and Tehran persists after an interim ceasefire collapsed in recent weeks; President Donald Trump's "maximum pressure" sanctions campaign and the 2018 withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal remain central to the volatile relationship.
- Renewed hostilities sent Brent crude prices spiking 3.1% to $84.58 a barrel, reflecting global economic anxiety; the conflict depletes U.S. stockpiles of Patriot and THAAD interceptors, complicating military operations.
- Iraq's Ministerial Council for National Security denounced the joint U.S.-Saudi strikes, rejecting "all acts of aggression, regardless of the party responsible," and vowed to prevent any source from using Iraqi territory to threaten neighboring states.
- Military strikes across multiple fronts, including drone attacks in Egypt, risk a return to all-out war; neither Washington nor Tehran has articulated a clear strategy for de-escalation, leaving the region in dangerous, ongoing uncertainty.
