Iran has been targeting Gulf countries in its ongoing conflicts involving the US and Israel, with missile and drone strikes against nations such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait. On Monday, Iran launched two drones at Saudi Aramco's Ras Tanura oil refinery, although Saudi defenses successfully intercepted them and the refinery was shuttered as a precaution. In response to these provocations, Saudi Arabia has issued a stern warning to Iran.

According to a report by Saudi news outlet 'Azer News', Saudi officials condemned the attacks on the Kingdom and neighboring Gulf nations, reiterating their right to self-defense. They indicated that a counter-response to Iran's aggressive actions is under consideration. The recent drone assault has raised concerns among the Gulf countries, underscoring the precarious security situation in the region as tensions escalate.

The Gulf nation's unease is palpable, particularly since these attacks come amid heightened military actions involving the US and Israel against Iran. The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been involved in this configuration of tensions, signaling a significant shift in regional dynamics that could lead to broader confrontations if not managed carefully.
