Saudi Arabia and the US have shared information indicating Iran may attack the kingdom or other nations in the region sometime soon, leading Washington and Riyadh to adjust their military posture, according to people familiar with the matter.
The two countries as well as regional allies have raised their military alert level, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal deliberations. They described the possible attacks as an effort to distract from nationwide protests that have roiled Iran in recent weeks.
