U.S. and Saudi forces launched joint strikes in Iraq after intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles targeting American military personnel in the region.

Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the Middle East, but all projectiles were intercepted, prompting immediate American and Saudi military strikes against Iranian proxy infrastructure in Iraq.

U.S. Central Command confirmed the missile interception and announced that American and Saudi fighter aircraft conducted precision strikes targeting Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-directed weapons and logistics sites. The response came hours after the Iranian attack, according to military officials.
