Yemen army launches Sanaa offensive as Iran warns against new war
Original: Yemen army begins Sanaa offensive; Iran warns against ’new war’
Forces aligned with Yemen's government have begun a military offensive toward Sanaa, the capital held by the Houthis since 2014. Iran, a backer of the Houthis, warned against opening a 'new war' in the country. The operation raises fears of renewed large-scale fighting in Yemen after years of relative stalemate, and regional observers are watching whether it escalates into a wider confrontation.
Why now: A fresh military offensive toward Yemen's capital, coupled with Iranian warnings, raises fears of a renewed major war in the region.
