Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Saudi fighter jets conducted airstrikes on Tehran-backed Shi’ite militia targets in northern Iraq during the Iran war, focusing on sites used to launch drone and missile attacks at Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. Retaliatory rocket attacks were also reportedly launched from Kuwaiti territory into Iraq, targeting militia positions, including facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah. These strikes occurred amid broader Gulf military responses that remained largely undisclosed during the conflict, which began with US-Israeli attacks on Iran and extended regionally. Diplomatic protests were lodged by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait with Iraq over cross-border attacks, while Iran-backed militias continued reconnaissance and intelligence activities along Iraq’s borders with the Gulf states.
