US and Iran launch new attacks Saudi Saudi Arabia is planning an alliance for the Red Sea

The U.S. military has launched new attacks against Iranian targets, according to reports from the U.S. Central Command (Centcom), which described them as a 'decisive response' to alleged Iranian drone strikes on U.S. forces in the Middle East. The attacks occurred around 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday and targeted locations in southern Iran, including the island of Qeshm and the province of Bushehr, though specific objectives were not disclosed. Local media, including state-linked outlets like Fars, reported explosions in these areas. Meanwhile, U.S. forces reportedly conducted joint operations with Saudi Arabia in Iraq targeting individuals linked to Iran. Separately, Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning an international coalition to protect shipping in the Red Sea from attacks by Houthi militias. On Wednesday, a drone attack on a U.S.-flagged tanker in Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta caused fires on two vessels, though no injuries were reported. The Egyptian oil ministry confirmed the incident but did not mention a drone strike. President Trump commented on the event, vowing continued pressure on Iran.
