US Foils Iran Missile Barrage, Strikes Militias in Iraq

The US military thwarted an Iranian missile attack and launched strikes with Saudi Arabia against militias in Iraq, shattering a brief pause in fighting.

All Iranian missiles launched against American forces in the Middle East were intercepted by the U.S. Central Command, which added that they 'remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness.'

The US worked with Saudi Arabia's forces to strike sites in Iraq that Tehran-backed militias have used to launch attacks in recent days.

Saudi Arabia acknowledged the strikes in a post on social media, warning that it does not seek escalation but will respond to any aggression it faces.
