EXCERPT:
A new round of fighting emerging in Iran this week brought a new player that could change the game entirely.
U.S. forces launched new airstrikes against Iran on Wednesday, U.S. Central Command announced, while earlier, and for the first time, the Saudi Arabian military joined with the U.S. in striking Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, The Associated Press reported.
And, according to Fox News, a former deputy CENTCOM commander said those developments and others could signify Iran being pushed to a “tipping point.”
U.S. Central Command issued a statement Tuesday on the social media platform X announcing the attacks with the Saudis targeted “Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.”

The action also came hours after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had launched missile attacks against a U.S. military base in the region. The missiles were all shot down.
According to Fox, retired Navy Vice Adm. Robert Harward, a retired SEAL and former deputy CENTCOM commander, said the development means “you’re seeing the pressure build on Iran on all fronts.”
