Saudi Arabia conducted unpublicized air strikes on Iranian territory in late March, marking its first direct military action on Iran.
The attacks were described as tit‑for‑tat retaliation for earlier strikes on Saudi soil, though specific Iranian targets remain unconfirmed.
Two Western officials and two Iranian officials briefed Reuters on the operation, highlighting heightened regional tensions in the Middle East.
The unpublicized strike could spur oil price volatility and increase risk premiums for investors in the Middle East.
