Houthis have launched attacks in Yemen, prompting the UN to warn of a potential wider regional conflict. The Yemeni army stated it has responded to the attacks, which are aligned with Iran. The escalation has raised concerns about further instability in the region (illawarramercury.com.au).

The Yemeni government forces reported renewed attacks on the city of Marib by the Houthis. These attacks come amid ongoing tensions between Iran and its regional rivals. Meanwhile, Iran and Oman have agreed on a framework for a deal regarding the strategic Strait of Hormuz, though final approval from Tehran is still pending (aljazeera.com).

The situation in Yemen remains volatile, with the Houthis continuing their military actions. The UN has expressed alarm over the potential for the conflict to expand beyond Yemen’s borders. Diplomatic efforts between Iran and Oman suggest a possible resolution to the Hormuz dispute, but the outcome remains uncertain.

The combination of military activity and diplomatic maneuvering highlights the complex dynamics at play in the region. As the situation evolves, international attention remains focused on the potential for further escalation.
