US military says US, Saudi forces struck sites of Iran-backed groups in Iraq
CENTCOM said more than 30 drone attacks on U.S. forces and Saudi energy sites prompted the joint response.
- On Tuesday, United States and Saudi forces launched airstrikes against sites in eastern Iraq used by Iran-backed militias, aiming to degrade capabilities after a surge in regional threats targeting American assets and Saudi energy infrastructure.
- The strikes followed more than 30 attempted drone attacks over three days, and CENTCOM reported that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps mounted an 'attempted surprise attack' involving ballistic missiles.
- CENTCOM characterized the sites as 'terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq,' while The Saudi Ministry confirmed it 'conducted precise and targeted strikes' in self-defense.
- President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a 90-minute Oval Office meeting Tuesday, discussing cooperation and 'our common goal: ensuring that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons.'
- Even as the United States holds off on direct military strikes against Iran, Iran-backed Houthis threaten Red Sea shipping, destabilizing the security environment across the Arabian Peninsula.
