SAUDI, KUWAITI STRIKES HIT IRAN-BACKED MILITIAS IN IRAQ Saudi fighter jets reportedly struck Iran-linked militia targets in Iraq during the Iran war, while retaliatory rocket attacks were also launched from Kuwait into Iraq, according to multiple sources. The strikes targeted militia sites accused of launching drone and missile attacks on Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The conflict has widened across the region since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in February, contributing to attacks on Gulf infrastructure, closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and surging oil prices. Sources say Gulf states grew increasingly frustrated with Iran-backed militias operating from Iraq, despite earlier diplomatic efforts to avoid escalation.
