Attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi Arabia have raised the Yemen war to a new level. Strikes on civilian infrastructure, including airports, have killed at least 12 people and injured hundreds.
The attacks have, in the author’s assessment, removed the previous “red lines” that defined the limits of escalation. The source presents two possible paths ahead: a Houthi retreat or a prolonged war of attrition.
Strikes on civilian infrastructure
The text says the Houthis continue attacking Saudi Arabia despite being aware that retaliation could be severe. The author describes the campaign as a risky move that does not serve the group’s own interests.
The author also links the attacks to Iran’s agenda, arguing that Tehran seeks to heighten tensions before the US midterm elections. The source provides no further details about specific plans or decisions by the parties.
