US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that American and Saudi forces carried out joint strikes against pro-Iranian militia targets in central and southern Iraq, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The operation follows recent militia attacks on Saudi oil facilities. Specific targets and damage assessments were not disclosed.
The Zioneer reported earlier this morning that US and Saudi fighter jets conducted joint strikes against logistics and weapons storage sites belonging to pro-Iranian militias in eastern Iraq. This new confirmation from CENTCOM, cited by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS), expands the geographic scope to include central and southern Iraq as well. The operation is a response to a wave of drone attacks—over 30 in the past 72 hours—directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. No further details on the specific targets or damage have been released.
