Saudi Arabia bombed Iran, Reuters reveals attacks that were kept secret

Saudi Arabia launched multiple attacks on Iran in retaliation for attacks carried out on the kingdom during the war in the Middle East. The news was kept secret for some time but has recently been made public by international media. 

The Saudi attacks, previously unreported, mark the first time the kingdom has carried out military action directly on Iranian soil and show that it is becoming much bolder in its defense against its main regional rival.

The strikes, launched by the Saudi Air Force, were believed to have been carried out in late March, two Western officials told Reuters. One said only that they were "bloody attacks in retaliation for the time Saudi Arabia was hit."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry did not respond to a request for comment. Saudi Arabia, which has a deep military relationship with the United States, has traditionally relied on the American military for protection, but the 10-week war has left the kingdom vulnerable to attacks that have exceeded the US military umbrella.

The Saudi attacks underscore the widening conflict — and the extent to which a war that began when the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on Feb. 28 — has engulfed the Middle East in ways that have not been publicly acknowledged. The United Arab Emirates has also carried out military strikes on Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Together, the Saudi and Emirati actions reveal a conflict whose true form has remained largely hidden — one in which Gulf monarchies battered by Iranian attacks have begun to strike back.

But their approach has not been identical. The UAE has taken a tougher stance, seeking to extract a cost from Iran and only rarely engaging in public diplomacy with Tehran.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has tried to prevent an escalation of the conflict and has remained in regular contact with Iran, including through Tehran's ambassador to Riyadh. He did not respond to a request for comment.

The senior Saudi foreign ministry official did not directly address whether a deal to reduce tensions with Iran had been reached, but said: "We reaffirm Saudi Arabia's continued position supporting de-escalation, restraint and de-escalation in pursuit of stability, security and prosperity for the region and its people."
