Saudi offensive in Yemen raises risk of direct war with Iran

Saudi Arabia has launched an offensive in Yemen, and analysts warn the operation could escalate into a direct military confrontation with Iran, which backs the Houthi movement fighting the Saudi-led coalition. The campaign has drawn attention because Yemen has long been a proxy battleground between the two regional rivals, and any direct clash would widen an already volatile conflict across the Middle East.

Why now: An active Saudi military operation in Yemen is raising fears of regional escalation between Riyadh and Tehran.
