Iran carried out a ballistic missile attack on a United States base in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, according to a report by Axios. The strike marks Tehran’s first direct attack in the Gulf country in nearly four months. A US official confirmed the incident through a post on social media platform X, though no further details about the target or damage were provided. Axios noted that Iran had previously attacked Saudi Arabia’s Jubail petrochemical complex in early April.

The attack occurred amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz region. In recent weeks, the United States and Iran have exchanged military strikes following the collapse of a ceasefire brokered by Pakistan. The renewed hostilities have raised concerns about further escalation in the Gulf.

No immediate information was released regarding casualties or the extent of damage, leaving uncertainty about the broader impact of the strike.
