Iran launched ballistic missile attacks against American forces in the Middle East, prompting the United States and Saudi Arabia to retaliate by attacking targets linked to Iran in Iraq. The attacks occurred after U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned friendly negotiations with Iran. According to the U.S. Central Command (Centcom), Iran targeted American positions in the region, though the specific targets were not disclosed. In response, U.S. and Saudi forces conducted strikes on logistical and weapons-related sites associated with Iranian-backed groups in eastern Iraq. At least ten people are reported dead, with the number potentially rising. The conflict follows a three-day ceasefire between the two sides, which ended with renewed hostilities.
