The United States and Saudi Arabia have conducted a joint combat strike in Iraq, targeting sites used by groups aligned with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). These groups were responsible for attacks on U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.

This strike is part of broader efforts to counter threats from Iran-aligned militias in the region. Market indicators suggest a reduced likelihood of Iran conducting military action against a Gulf state in the immediate future.
