China Signs $5B Drone Deal with Saudi Arabia

Israel launched a new wave of broad-scale airstrikes on Tehran, hitting Mehrabad Airport and Iranian military sites, while US Central Command said more than 3,000 targets have been struck over the past week, intensifying the Middle East conflict.

Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry said Saturday it intercepted 16 drones heading toward the Shaybah oil field in the Empty Quarter desert. The site produces about one million barrels per day, underscoring the strategic importance of protecting major Gulf energy infrastructure.
