Breaking News: Iran Intensifies Strikes on Saudi Arabia, Targets Energy Infrastructure

Iran has intensified its attacks on Saudi Arabia, launching ballistic missiles and drones toward Riyadh. Saudi air defenses successfully intercepted four Iranian missiles, preventing further damage. However, key targets included U.S.-linked facilities near the Prince Sultan Air Base. The conflict has now shifted into energy warfare. After earlier strikes by Israel and the United States on Iran’s South Pars Gas Field, Iran retaliated by targeting Ras Laffan in Qatar and a major refinery in Riyadh. The Riyadh refinery strike caused massive explosions and fire, impacting fuel supply linked to U.S. operations. Panic has spread in residential areas due to falling debris and blast impact. Iran has warned civilians to stay away from American bases. Additionally, multiple energy sites across the region—including refineries in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates—are now on Iran’s target list, signaling a widening conflict.
