According to reports, Iran launched an attack on targets in Saudi Arabia, marking the first such strike since April 8. No further details on targets or casualties are available.
A new report claims Iran has launched an attack on targets in Saudi Arabia, the first such strike since April 8. The report emerged at approximately 02:57 Jerusalem, early Saturday morning, and follows a confirmed Iranian ballistic missile strike on a US military base in Saudi Arabia earlier tonight, which The Zioneer reported at 02:11 Jerusalem as the first direct Iranian attack on Saudi territory in nearly four months.
The thread of events began at 02:11 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer first reported unverified missile launches toward Saudi Arabia. A US official then confirmed to Barak Ravid that Iran had fired a ballistic missile at an American base in Saudi Arabia, marking the first direct attack in four months, with additional missile launches reported simultaneously. The new report now suggests a broader strike on Saudi targets, not limited to the US base.
The Zioneer assessed on July 12 that the Iranian attacks on Gulf states were the most extensive since April 8. Background context also includes a Houthi attack on Saudi soil on July 13, the first since March 2022, and Saudi condemnation of renewed Iranian strikes on Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait on June 11.
The details of this new report remain unverified. No information on targets, munitions, or casualties has been provided. The Zioneer will continue to monitor.
