Saudi Arab Launched Covert Attacks on Iran as Regional War Widened

According to the Reuters report, this is the first time that Saudi Arabia is known to have directly attacked Iran - reflective of how Riyadh is becoming bolder in defending itself. 

The attacks



by the Saudi Air Force were assessed to have been carried out in late March, the two Western officials said. One said only that they were "tit-for-tat strikes in retaliation for when Saudi Arabia was hit." 

However, Reuters said that it was unable to confirm what the specific targets were. When requested for a comment, a senior Saudi foreign ministry official did not address directly whether strikes had been carried out and the Iranian foreign ministry did not respond.
