Iran-Backed Houthis Fire Missiles at Saudi Arabia in Response to Yemen Airstrikes

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement fired missiles at Saudi Arabia in retaliation for airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen, widening the regional conflict tied to the U.S.-Iran war. The escalation opened a new front pressuring Riyadh even as attention centered on U.S. strikes and Red Sea shipping. Saudi air defenses and the potential for a broader Gulf confrontation are now in focus.
