Concurrent reports that Iran will launch new attacks against Saudi Arabia and Iraqi Kurdistan while simultaneously preparing missile shipments to Russia for use against Ukraine demonstrate Tehran’s increased willingness to escalate beyond its borders.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report, on Tuesday, that Saudi Arabia has warned the United States of an Iranian plan to attack targets inside the kingdom and Iraqi Kurdistan.
The report came one day after Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) paramilitary shared a video on its Telegram channel in which it threatened to launch drone attacks against American and Israeli targets in the Middle East. While such videos are not uncommon, the timing of this particular one might indicate that Iran is preparing the grounds for new and highly publicized attacks in the region.
