Recent Iranian actions have centered on direct and proxy strikes against targets in Arab Gulf states amid ongoing US-Israel tensions. On November 13, Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed a strike on a US radar site in Bahrain, while Iran-aligned Houthis launched attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure and Riyadh-area facilities in early November. Senior Iranian officials have issued repeated warnings of potential strikes on Saudi energy assets, UAE infrastructure, and other Gulf targets if Washington resumes military operations. Diplomatic channels remain active, including October meetings in Tehran with Saudi, Turkish, and Pakistani representatives focused on de-escalation and regional security arrangements. These developments, alongside naval blockades and threats of broader retaliation, continue to shape assessments of near-term escalation risks.
