Saudi Arabia warns of coordinated attacks from Iraqi militias and Houthis

A senior Saudi official said the kingdom expects imminent coordinated attacks from the north by Iraqi militias and from the south by Yemen’s Houthis, both under the supervision of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Intelligence from Saudi Arabia, the United States and regional partners indicates that civilian and economic sites – including energy infrastructure, ports and airports – could be targeted. Saudi authorities have observed drones and missiles being repositioned, suggesting a two‑front operation. The official warned that the attacks could be intended to disrupt ongoing diplomatic mediation efforts, even as Riyadh pursues de‑escalation. Saudi‑U.S. cooperation remains very high, with operational coordination through U.S. Central Command. On July 29 Saudi Arabia carried out strikes with CENTCOM against Iran‑backed groups in Iraq, prompting Iraqi militias to say they would respond. Meanwhile, a Houthi strike in Najran injured 11 civilians, among them seven Saudis, one Yemeni, one Egyptian and one Pakistani. Saudi Arabia says it is prepared to take all necessary measures to counter any aggression.
