US, Saudi strike Iraq alliance in expanding war
Context
US and Saudi forces said they struck an Iraqi militant alliance on Wednesday, as the Middle East war expands beyond its main focus in Iran to involve the Islamic republic's proxies. The strikes follow a short lull in direct US attacks on targets in Iran, with Tehran's allies in Yemen and beyond becoming increasingly drawn in. Iran, meanwhile, launched missiles at Jordan, in its first attack in the region since the pause in fighting with the US began.
