Saudi-Iran Conflict (Brave New World)

The Saudi-Iran War, also known as Operation Paynestrike, was a conflict between the nations of Saudi-Arabia and Iran that began on January 23, 2012. The war officially began after Iran attacked the Ghawar oil field in Saudi-Arabia, which resulted in a massive loss of petroleum. Another foundation of the war was the assassination of Saudi-Arabian Prince Faisal after the nation discovered that Iran was behind the assassination.

The Saudi-Iran War intertwined with the U.S.'s conflict with Iran after the latter's Navy forces attacked several American ships in the Persian Gulf. The wars intersected each other since both conflicts involved the same belligerents.
