Revealed: Saudi Arabia and UAE’s Secret Strikes on Iran During Gulf War

New reports show Saudi Arabia carried out covert air strikes on Iran late last March. Officials say these raids were in retaliation for attacks inside Saudi territory during the Gulf War. The UAE also launched a secret attack on an oil refinery on Lavan Island just as a US-brokered ceasefire was announced. Both states publicly denied involvement at the time. Saudi Arabia warned Tehran ahead of its strikes, triggering intense diplomacy and eventual de-escalation. Iran’s missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets then dropped sharply in early April. These revelations mark the first known direct military action by Saudi Arabia on Iranian soil and highlight the deep rivalries in the Gulf.
