Svmuu News: According to a report by Reuters, two Western officials and two Iranian officials familiar with the situation stated that Saudi Arabia has previously launched multiple unpublicized attacks on Iran in retaliation for attacks that occurred on its soil during the Middle East war. These attacks by Saudi Arabia have not been reported before, indicating that Saudi Arabia is becoming bolder in confronting its main regional rival. The two Western officials said these attacks, carried out by the Saudi Air Force, are assessed to have taken place in late March. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the UAE also carried out military strikes against Iran. The actions of Saudi Arabia and the UAE together reveal a conflict whose true form remains largely hidden—a conflict in which Gulf states targeted by Iran are beginning to fight back. Iranian and Western officials said that Saudi Arabia made Iran aware of these attacks, which was followed by intensive diplomatic engagement, and that Saudi Arabia threatened further retaliatory actions, ultimately prompting the two countries to reach a consensus on de-escalation.
