The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that these attacks could target civilian and economic infrastructure, including energy facilities, ports, and airports. The intelligence suggests that these operations are being prepared by Iraqi militias coordinating with Yemen's Houthis, under the guidance of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Saudi Arabia has reportedly observed movements of drones and missiles, indicating coordinated operations from both the north and south of the country. The official added that these planned attacks could be designed to disrupt de-escalation and diplomatic efforts in the region.",
