American and Saudi Arabian forces conducted joint precision strikes in Iraq on July 28 against Iran-backed militias. According to U.S. Central Command, the targeted terrorists were directed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to attack U.S. forces in the region.
In response to the operation, Tehran fired ballistic missiles toward American forces in what U.S. commanders described as an attempted surprise attack.
