US and Saudi Arabia Bomb Iran-Backed Militias in Iraq After Oil Facility Attacks

Saudi Arabia and the US have bombed Iran-backed militias in Iraq after blaming them for drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities that were claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels, another Iranian ally.

The US has accused these militias of being involved in the recent drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities. This attack was also claimed by the Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran. The US and Saudi Arabia have responded by launching airstrikes against the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.

This development is seen as an escalation of tensions between the US and Iran in the region. The US has been warning about Iran's increasing presence in the Gulf and its attempts to create a new ring of proxies to threaten US allies.
