Saudi Arabia secretly struck Iranian mainland in rare direct Gulf action

Saudi Arabia secretly carried out several airstrikes on Iran’s mainland in response to Iranian attacks on the kingdom during the recent course of the Middle East war, Reuters reported on the 12th local time, citing multiple sources. The report draws attention because a Gulf state long viewed as heavily dependent on the United States has taken direct military action. The original summary did not provide specific strike locations or damage figures. As concern grows that the Middle East conflict could expand into direct clashes among regional states, Saudi Arabia’s response may affect the level of regional tension and future diplomatic calculations.
