Iran war is taking a dangerous turn as tensions in West Asia escalate rapidly. A drone struck near Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu refinery signalling a dangerous shift in the conflict toward critical energy infrastructure.

The attack follows Iranian warnings and comes amid retaliatory strikes linked to US and Israeli actions on Iran’s energy assets, including the South Pars gas field.
