NGSaudi Arabia and the United States conducted joint airstrikes targeting Iran-backed militias in Iraq, marking a significant escalation in tensions in the Middle East. According to Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency, at least four members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in the attack. The U.S. Central Command stated the strikes targeted 'Iran-aligned terrorists' linked to the IRGC who had attacked U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces, which includes Iran-backed Shia militias, reported at least 20 of its members were killed in the strikes. This followed an earlier Iranian missile attack on U.S. forces in the region, which was fully intercepted. Iran claimed it had targeted a U.S. air base and a command center in Jordan, while also striking three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. President Donald Trump vowed a strong response to the Iranian actions, and Saudi Arabia justified its strikes as a defensive measure against threats to its oil facilities.
