On Wednesday, President Donald Trump issued a stern warning that the United States would respond “hard” to Iran, following reports from U.S. officials that a ballistic missile attack targeted American military assets in the region. The missile strike was successfully intercepted.
These remarks come on the heels of coordinated strikes by U.S. and Saudi Arabian forces against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. The operations signify a notable escalation, marking Saudi Arabia’s direct involvement in the ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
