Houthis target Saudi base as Iran denies involvement in Yemen war
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have attacked Saudi Arabia multiple times, targeting oil infrastructure and other facilities, while also advancing along Yemen's Red Sea coast and capturing strategic ports. Saudi Arabia has responded with airstrikes, and the fighting has intensified as government forces and Houthi rebels clash. The Houthi advances threaten a crucial shipping route, creating concerns that the conflict could spread and affect global oil supplies. Planned talks between Gulf Arab states and Iran have been postponed.
