Saudi Arabia Abandons Restraint, Claims Strikes on Iran-Backed Networks

For years, Riyadh avoided direct military clashes with Tehran. That strategy has now changed. Saudi Arabia is openly admitting that its armed forces are targeting networks supported by Iran. This marks a clear shift from its previous policy of restraint to one of open retaliation. The kingdom is facing increasing attacks on its energy facilities. Its vital oil export routes are also under threat. These escalating pressures could push Saudi Arabia deeper into the conflict. As the attacks on its infrastructure grow, further involvement appears increasingly likely.
