Saudi Arabia‘s armed forces, in coordination with the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), carried out precision strikes on Wednesday against Iran-backed militia targets in Iraq linked to recent drone attacks on the Kingdom‘s oil facilities, the Ministry of Defense announced.
Defense Ministry spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki said the operation followed attempted drone attacks on oil facilities in the Eastern Province and Riyadh region on Monday and Tuesday, which Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed. He said those attacks originated from Iraqi territory and were carried out by Iran-backed terrorist militias.

âMilitary authorities have reported that a container ship has sustained damage to the rear of the vessel, which has caused a fire on board,â it said.

Danielle Pletka, a distinguished senior fellow in foreign and defense policy at the American Enterprise Institute, said Trump has a military plan on his desk that U.S. commanders believe could force Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without making any major concessions to its theocratic regime.
âThe president has had on his desk for months now a 10- to 14-day plan that would do what was necessary to finish out the mission of the war on Iran. It would take out the remaining missile sites we saw them work on, the remaining parts of their defense-industrial complex, the remaining nuclear [program] and some of the critical [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] emplacements, and do that in a way that Centcom feels would mean we could walk away, not have a deal, and stop worrying about Iran for a little while,â she said.
âWill it take 10 to 14 days? Who knows? Is the president going to follow that plan? Who knows?â she said.

Vance told Sohrab Ahmari, the US editor for UnHerd, that one of the things the US wanted to âcome outâ of the talks with was a âchannel on the Iranian sideâ for reducing conflict.
âWhich we did. They were like, âOK, fine, weâll send somebody from the IRGC to go hang out in Doha with somebody from CENTCOM,â and thatâs how weâre going to settle a lot of these disputes,â the US vice president said during an interview conducted aboard Air Force Two on the flight home from Switzerland.
The U.S. âmilitary conducted âstrikes against Iran on âFriday, Central âCommand said in â a âstatement, adding that âU.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile âand âdrone storage locations and âcoastal â radar sites after Tehran‘s attack âon âa â commercial ship in âthe Strait âof â Hormuz.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that it has conducted strikes against Iran following Tehranâs attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
âUS aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Iran hit M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone,â CENTCOM said in a post on X, adding that the âunwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.â
Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace â Letâs not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
