On Wednesday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) and Saudi Arabian Armed Forces conducted strikes in eastern Iraq, targeting "Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure." This action was a response to over 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks in the preceding 72 hours. Earlier, Iran had launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an "attempted surprise attack" on US military bases across the Middle East, all of which were intercepted. The Saudi Defense Ministry stated, "does not seek escalation but will respond to any aggression it faces." These events follow a period where the US had paused nightly strikes on Iran from July 8-24 to allow for negotiations regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
