AustriaThe article reports that the United States and Saudi Arabia have conducted joint airstrikes against targets in Iraq, targeting groups allegedly aligned with Iran. The U.S. Central Command (Centcom) stated that these attacks were in response to over two dozen drone strikes by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.
