Saudi Arabia carried out multiple covert attacks inside Iran in March, according to Western officials, marking the first direct Saudi military action on Iranian territory amid ongoing tensions involving Israel and the United States.
The reports, revealed by Reuters on May 13, describe these attacks as retaliatory responses to prior Iranian strikes. The operations were reportedly conducted by the Saudi Air Force.
However, details regarding the specific Iranian locations targeted remain unclear, with no confirmed information available.

One Western official noted that Saudi Arabia threatened more severe retaliatory measures against Iran towards the end of March. Following this, diplomatic activities and de-escalation efforts helped reduce tensions between the two nations somewhat.
On April 7, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, roughly a week after signs of easing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran emerged.
Attempts to obtain comments from the foreign ministries of Saudi Arabia and Iran were unsuccessful at the time of reporting.
