US, Israel Hit Iran Nuclear Sites as Houthis Threaten Neighbors

The US and Israel bombed Iranian nuclear and steel facilities on Friday, while Iran retaliated across the Persian Gulf including a reported hit on a base in Saudi Arabia, as markets reacted to fears of the conflict’s drag on the global economy.

Airstrikes on Friday targeted a heavy water research reactor that’s part of the Arak nuclear complex and a yellowcake production plant in Yazd province, as well as two of Iran’s biggest steelmakers, according to Iranian state media. A strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi left at least 10 US troops wounded, including two seriously, and damaged several refueling aircraft, the Associated Press reported.
