Saudi Arabia conducted secretive military strikes targeting Iranian drone and missile production sites, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Details of when the strikes occurred and their scale remain unclear. The operations mark a significant escalation in regional tensions between the two Gulf powers, who have engaged in proxy conflicts across the Middle East.
