US-Saudi Strikes Hit Iran-Backed Groups in Escalating West Asia Crisis

The conflict in West Asia has escalated further as the US and Saudi Arabia launched coordinated strikes on Iran-backed groups in Iraq.

The strikes came after Washington said it intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles targeting its forces, marking a renewed phase of hostilities between the two nations.

The developments come amid ongoing attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, Iranian threats in the Strait of Hormuz, and growing fears of a wider regional conflict.
