"We Will Not Hesitate": Saudi Official Reports Intelligence on Militia Coordination Under IRGC Supervision to Attack the Kingdom

A Saudi official revealed today, Thursday, the existence of "reliable and multiple intelligence reports" indicating coordination between Houthi and Iraqi militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps "to prepare for attacks on the Kingdom," affirming that the Kingdom "will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to deal with any aggression," as reported by Al Arabiya.

The source described these reports as "shocking" because they come at a time when the Kingdom continues its efforts to promote de-escalation and peaceful solutions in the region, amid ongoing negotiations moving in a positive direction.

A Week After the Strikes

The warning comes just one week after the Kingdom was subjected to terrorist attacks launched from Iraqi territory, targeting oil facilities, carried out by Iran-backed terrorist militias according to the Ministry of Defense. Saudi forces, in coordination with the U.S. Central Command, responded with "precise and limited" airstrikes targeting militia military depots inside Iraq after exhausting diplomatic channels.

A Saudi official confirmed at the time that those strikes "were not directed against the Iraqi people and government but against the terrorist militia," and that the Kingdom's relationship with Iraq "remains strong with both its government and people." Reuters reported that the Houthi terrorist militia carried out its attacks on the Kingdom from Iraqi territory in coordination with Iraqi factions under the supervision of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Meanwhile, militia escalation continues in maritime corridors; the Red Sea witnessed the sinking of an Indian cargo ship last Tuesday in an attack by a booby-trapped boat off Hodeidah, for which the Yemeni National Resistance Forces held the Houthi terrorist militia responsible.

It is noteworthy that the Kingdom is among the prominent parties calling for de-escalation in the region; it was among the countries that requested the suspension of U.S. strikes on Iran earlier this month to allow for a negotiating path, as announced by U.S. President Donald Trump.
