The American news organization Washington Post published a striking report that Iran targeted a CIA station in Saudi Arabia with drones. The claim, based on two sources from the newspaper, led to comments that the chain of retaliation in the region has shifted towards new and more precise targets.
According to a report by the Washington Post, based on two sources close to the matter, a drone attack suspected to be organized by Iran targeted a CIA station in Saudi Arabia. The report assessed that the attack could be a symbolic part of Iran's retaliation chain against U.S. targets in the Middle East.
According to the information relayed by the newspaper, a multiple drone attack hit a facility in Riyadh used by the CIA. While details regarding the scale of the incident and the damage caused remain unclear, it was noted that U.S. officials are taking the attack seriously.
NO OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION
The report emphasized that there has been no direct confirmation from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or Saudi authorities regarding the attack. The Washington Post stated that the information is based on sources that do not have the authority to make public statements.
RETALIATION CHAIN CLAIM
The newspaper wrote that the attack is believed to have been carried out in response to recent military moves by the U.S. and Israel against Iran.
On the other hand, Saudi authorities had confirmed a drone attack targeting the U.S. Embassy complex in Riyadh. However, the Washington Post's report indicated that the CIA facility in question was a separate target.
Official statements regarding the developments are expected to become clear in the coming hours.
