Saudi Arabia launches new military offensive against Houthis
Original: Saudi Arabia launches new military offensive against the Iran-backed Houthis
Saudi Arabia has launched a new military offensive against the Iran-backed Houthis, according to reports from NPR. The operation marks a resumption of hostilities against the Yemeni rebel group, with which Saudi Arabia has fought a prolonged conflict since 2015. Details about the scale, targets and casualties of the offensive remain limited, and it is not yet clear what prompted the action or how long it is expected to last.
Why now: A resumption of Saudi military action against the Houthis has major implications for Yemen and regional tensions with Iran.
