Drones attack Iran's neighbours as Tehran appears to test Trump's latest pause
Context
By Nayera Abdallah, Elwely Elwelly and Eman Abouhassira DUBAI, July 27 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq reported drone attacks on Monday, two days after the United States abruptly suspended a two-week campaign of air strikes against Iran, as Tehran appeared to put President Donald Trump's latest strategic U-turn to the test. Saudi Arabia said it shot down drones aimed at petroleum targets, some in its eastern province and others in the capital Riyadh. It said the drones had been launched from Iraq by Iran-backed militia, and it reserved the right to respond.
