Saudi Arabia Joins US Strikes On Iran-Backed Militias. Saudi Arabia has joined the United States in carrying out air strikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq, marking a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The US military said the operation targeted militia bases linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard accusing the groups of launching repeated drone attacks against American forces and Saudi energy facilities. Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces said at least 20 of its members were killed in the strikes. The attacks came hours after Iran launched missiles towards US positions in the region. The US said the missiles were intercepted, while Iran described the attack as retaliation for recent American military action. The latest exchanges have heightened fears of a broader regional conflict involving Iran and its allies.
