US and Saudi Arabia Launch Joint Strikes on Iran-Linked Targets

US and Saudi military forces conducted coordinated strikes on July 29 against Iran-aligned militia sites in Iraq following a series of drone attacks.

The operation targeted specific infrastructure used by proxies, marking a significant escalation in West Asian tensions after a brief period of relative calm.

The Pentagon confirmed the strikes were a defensive response to intercepted missile launches, with regional oil markets reacting sharply to the renewed instability.
