Saudi Arabia has warned the US that Iran is preparing for a major attack. Saudi Arabia is the target of Iran. America's military deployed in the Gulf countries of America has been alerted after Iran shared intelligence. This intelligence report has been confirmed by the US and Saudi officials. The US official said that following intelligence inputs, Saudi Arabia, the US, and several other neighboring countries have increased the level of alertness for their military forces.
Pentagon said - we have the right to protect and defend ourselves
When asked about the intelligence report shared by Saudi to the Pentagon's press secretary, Brigadier General Pat Ryder, he said that US military officials are concerned about the threat situation in the Valley region. Intelligence reports say that soon or in the next 48 hours, there may be a major attack in Saudi. "We are in regular contact with our partners," Ryder said. Important information is being shared with them in this regard. We have said it before and I will repeat it, that we have a right to protect and defend ourselves. Whether our army is serving in Iraq or elsewhere, if an attack happens, it will be given a befitting reply.
Why is Iran preparing to attack Saudi?
Intelligence information has been confirmed by Saudi Arabia. However, this report has not been shared. The officials did not say what the full report says. The situation in Iran is not good at this time. For the past several months, women have been protesting there regarding the hijab. Many people also died during this demonstration. Saudi officials say that Iran is preparing to target Saudi and Iraq to divert attention from the ongoing massive demonstrations in the country.
Iran attacked Iraq in September
In late September, Iran attacked northern Iraq with dozens of ballistic missiles and armed drones. A drone was shot down by a US warplane as it was heading towards the city of Erbil, where the US military base is located. Iranian officials have publicly accused Saudi Arabia of instigating demonstrations in the country along with the US and Israel. Last month, the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned Saudi Arabia to curb TV coverage of the protests.
...then big action can be taken against Iran!
Let us tell you that Iran has given hundreds of drones and technical assistance to Russia during the ongoing war against Ukraine. US President Joe Biden has also condemned it. The National Security Council said in a statement that we are concerned about this potential threat. We are in constant contact with Saudi through military and intelligence channels. We will not hesitate to act to protect our interests and those of our partners in the region. In such a situation, if Iran attacks, then some major action can be taken against it.
Saudi oil depot was attacked in 2019
Let us tell you that the Wall Street Journal first reported intelligence sharing by Saudi on Tuesday. The US and Saudi accused Iran of being behind a major attack in eastern Saudi Arabia in 2019. The attack halved the oil-rich empire's output and increased energy prices. However, the Iranians categorically denied that they were behind the attack. Even before this, Iran has been accused of carrying out attacks in Saudi.
In recent weeks, the Biden administration has imposed sanctions on Iranian officials for their brutal treatment of protesters following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September while in the custody of Iranian security forces. The US has also warned Iran of supplying drones to Russia for use in its war in Ukraine. According to a group of human rights activists in Iran, 270 people have been killed and 14,000 arrested during the protests. Despite this, however, the performance continues.
