Iran launched a barrage of missiles at American forces in the West Asia early Wednesday (July 29, 2026) as the U.S. partnered with Saudi Arabia to strike Tehran-backed militias in neighbouring Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters. Six Iranian advisers were killed in the U.S.-Saudi strike, two Iraqi militia officials told the Associated Press. It was not immediately clear if the advisers were included in the fighters who were killed. The militia officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.
