Iran war widens as Egypt & Saudi Arabia get pulled in

The Saudi defense ministry said today that 14 countries have backed the kingdom's proposal to establish a “Maritime Defense Alliance” to protect international shipping routes and global trade.

The announcement comes as the US-Iran conflict is pulling in more countries. Egypt reported that a drone strike Wednesday caused a fire on two ships in the port of Damietta. No party has claimed responsibility. If confirmed as a deliberate strike, it would mark the first time Egypt has been directly drawn into the conflict.
