American-Saudi Airstrikes Cause Casualties
The United States and Saudi Arabia announced they carried out joint strikes targeting locations affiliated with Iran-backed governors in Iraq, in response to more than 30 drone attacks by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard over the past 72 hours. Washington and Riyadh clarified that these strikes targeted arms depots and logistical sites in Iraq, aiming to deter attacks on Saudi oil facilities amidst warnings of escalating tensions in the region. In return, sites belonging to Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces were attacked, resulting in the deaths of eight people and injuries to others, which they consider a dangerous escalation and a violation of Iraq's sovereignty. Additionally, Iran launched ballistic missiles at a U.S. military base in Jordan, while Jordanian and U.S. defenses intercepted the missiles. The region is witnessing heightened tensions, with Iran increasing its control in the Strait of Hormuz by stopping oil tankers and issuing threats to expand dominance over the strait and to threaten European ships, amidst escalating military and political strains in the area.
