Washington: US and Saudi Arabian forces carried out precision airstrikes against Iran-aligned groups in eastern Iraq on Tuesday (local time) after more than 30 drone attacks targeted American troops and Saudi energy infrastructure, the US Central Command said.
US and Saudi fighter aircraft struck several logistics and weapons sites used by the groups, according to CENTCOM.
“The unwarranted attacks against U.S. forces were not successful,” CENTCOM said.
The command did not identify the groups targeted or disclose the locations of the strikes beyond saying they occurred across eastern Iraq.
CENTCOM said Iran-aligned militias in Iraq had attempted more than 600 attacks against US citizens and facilities between February and April 2026.
