VIDEO SUA și Arabia Saudită au lansat primele atacuri comune împotriva unor grupări susținute de Iran în Irak • Newsweek România

The U.S. and Saudi Arabia have conducted their first joint military strikes against Iran-backed groups in Iraq, escalating tensions in the region. In response, Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. military bases in Jordan, which were successfully intercepted. CENTCOM confirmed the precision strikes targeted weapons and logistics sites linked to the IRGC, following over 30 drone attacks on U.S. interests. Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry stated it does not seek escalation but will respond to aggression. This marks a significant shift as Saudi Arabia officially acknowledges its military involvement in Iraq.
