According to reports, quoting a Saudi official, Saudi Arabia is preparing for the potential risk of a coordinated attack on its energy facilities, ports, and airports by Iraqi militias and Iran-backed Houthis. The official said that intelligence obtained by Saudi Arabia, the United States and other countries in the region showed that under the leadership of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, the attack “is very likely to occur in the short term.” The official said that Saudi Arabia has detected meetings between Iraqi militia personnel, Houthi militants, and members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, and at the same time discovered signs of drone and missile movements. “Saudi Arabia will take all necessary measures to respond to any act of aggression,” the official said. It added that the Riyadh side will continue to work to ease regional tension.
