Meanwhile in the Middle East

The flight of two U.S. B-52 bombers over the Middle East announced on Thursday was a show-of-force message to Iran as American and Saudi officials continued to monitor an imminent threat to Saudi Arabia, according to a senior Defense Department official.

[...]

The announcement of the bomber flight came just hours after reported Israeli airstrikes struck a convoy carrying Iranian weapons along the Iraqi-Syria border.

[...]

Officials believe Tehran is planning an attack on the Kingdom, likely on energy infrastructure, the official said.

American and Saudi officials are also monitoring an increased threat from Iran to Iraq, where the U.S. has thousands of troops and personnel spread across a number of military bases, said a second DoD official.

[...]

The U.S. is also concerned by Iran’s other moves in the region, including transferring drones to Russia for use against Ukrainian civilians and agreeing to supply ballistic missiles, the first official said.

[...]

Iranian officials believe Saudi Arabia is helping anti-government protesters who are fomenting unrest across the country. [...] The protests were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been arrested by the morality police for allegedly flouting Iran’s strict dress code for women.
