Saudi Arabia Warns of Imminent Coordinated Attacks by Iran-Backed GroupsPreviousNext

Saudi Arabia has warned of imminent coordinated attacks by Iran-backed Yemeni Houthis and Iraqi militias, potentially targeting civilian and economic sites including energy infrastructure, ports, and airports. Intelligence from Saudi, U.S., and regional sources indicates drone and missile movements suggesting operations from both north and south. The warnings come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions. Saudi Arabia maintains strong security cooperation with the U.S. and is prepared to respond to any aggression. Recent Houthi attacks have wounded civilians, escalating regional security concerns.
