The United States has approved a potential $5 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia amid the ongoing Iran war and rising security tensions in West Asia. The proposed package includes more than 10,000 precision-guidance kits, thousands of bombs, target detectors, spare parts and support equipment. The US State Department says the deal will strengthen Saudi Arabia’s air defences, improve its ability to counter regional threats and enhance interoperability with US and other Gulf forces. --- Iran war | iran explosions | US strikes | US Iran war | Kharg Island | Pickaxe mountain | Donald trump | West asia conflict | Firstpost #iranwar #usiranwar #usstrikesiran #usstrikes #iranexplosion #khargisland #pickaxemountain #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
