Riyadh urges de-escalation with Iran
Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman stated during his meeting with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance in Washington that Saudi Arabia prefers de-escalation with Iran and is ready to defend itself if necessary. He also emphasized that the Kingdom is capable of managing the situation with the Houthis in Yemen without current U.S. intervention. Additionally, Saudi Arabia announced that it carried out targeted strikes against Iranian targets on Iraqi soil in response to attacks on its oil facilities. Meanwhile, the Iraqi Islamic Resistance denied responsibility for the attacks on Iraqi territory, affirming that their upcoming response to the U.S.-Saudi aggression will be harsh and may target the enemy's tools within Saudi Arabia. The escalation has resulted in the death of about 20 Iraqi Popular Mobilization Fighters and 32 injuries in joint American-Saudi attacks on their positions.
