Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, launched attacks on four cities in southern Saudi Arabia, injuring more than 70 people and damaging oil infrastructure. The assaults mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, with reports indicating oil installations were set ablaze. Saudi Arabia condemned the attacks, accusing Iran of supporting the militants.
In response, U.S. Military forces conducted strikes against Iranian tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The attacks targeted vessels believed to be supplying weapons and resources to the Houthis. The U.S. Action comes amid growing tensions in the region, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities.
The conflict, which has already claimed numerous lives, is now expanding beyond Yemen into Saudi territory. Local authorities reported that the attacks were coordinated and aimed at disrupting energy infrastructure. Saudi Arabia has called for international support to counter the escalating threat.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to exchange accusations. The attacks highlight the deepening regional instability and the complex alliances shaping the conflict.
