QatarIran has launched ballistic missile attacks at U.S. military installations in Jordan, according to reports, while the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have conducted airstrikes against Iran-backed groups in Iraq. The timing of these incidents remains unclear, with neither the U.S. military nor Iranian authorities confirming the sequence. The U.S.-Saudi strikes targeted positions of the Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), an umbrella group comprising Shia militias some of whom are aligned with Iran. The PMF reported casualties among its members, though the numbers are preliminary. The attacks followed accusations that Iran-aligned groups in Iraq were responsible for drone strikes on Saudi oil facilities.
