(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 7. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has carried out missile and drone attacks on US-linked companies operating in Saudi Arabia, Trend reports via the IRGC.

According to information, the strikes were conducted using medium-range missiles, cruise missiles, and kamikaze drones as part of the latest phase of its ongoing operation.

Furthermore, the information noted that the attacks targeted companies including“Sadara,”“ExxonMobil,”“Dow Chemical,” and “Chevron Phillips” in Saudi Arabia. The IRGC also claimed that a container vessel linked to Israel was struck by a missile at a port in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Additionally, it was reported that the US aircraft carrier“CVN 72” was targeted with long-range cruise missiles.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran, striking major cities, including Tehran. The White House cited missile and nuclear threats originating from the Islamic Republic as justification for the attacks. The strikes reportedly killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with several other senior officials. In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a large-scale retaliatory operation against Israel and has targeted U.S. facilities across Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.

The conflict has placed the region's energy infrastructure and maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have risen significantly. Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz and allows passage only to vessels it deems necessary.
