A Saudi source told Al-Hadath that the Kingdom has set a new, final red line: any further attack on its oil facilities will lead to the destruction of pro-Iranian militias across the Middle East. The statement follows recent joint US-Saudi strikes on militia targets in Iraq and Saudi Arabia's earlier warning that it would respond to any aggression.
A Saudi source told Al-Hadath on Wednesday morning that the Kingdom has set a new, final red line: any further attack on its oil facilities will trigger the destruction of pro-Iranian militias across the Middle East. The statement, attributed to an unnamed source in the Kingdom, escalates the rhetoric after a series of drone attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the US and Saudi Arabia conducted joint strikes on pro-Iranian militia targets in Iraq, and Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry stated that the strike was a response to drone attacks on its oil facilities, warning that it would respond to any 'aggression'.
The new warning appears to formalize Saudi Arabia's intent to expand its response beyond Iraqi territory, threatening pro-Iranian groups throughout the region. The statement does not specify a timeframe or trigger mechanism, and no further details were provided. The development remains single-sourced and unverified by additional independent reports.
