The operation destroyed 99% of Iranian drones and missiles before they reached their targets, with some flying over Jordanian and Saudi airspace. Sources suggest Saudi Arabia has a system to intercept suspicious entities in its airspace. Additionally, it's claimed that Iran incited the Gaza conflict to derail US efforts for a Saudi normalization deal. Despite prior efforts, Hamas's attack hindered the potential for a US-mediated agreement.
