US-Saudi strikes in Iraq have pushed the region into ‘uncharted territory’, analysts warn

US-Saudi strikes targeting sites associated with the Popular Mobilisation Forces in Iraq have killed at least 20 fighters. In response, Iran has launched missiles. Analysts warn that Riyadh's decision to publicly join the US in these operations has pushed the region into uncharted territory. This development adds a complicating dimension to an increasingly unpredictable and widening conflict, as the strikes against the Iran-backed militia further destabilise the chaotic war currently unfolding across the region.
