Snippet:
The Iranian-backed Houthis appear to be seeking a new conflict with Saudi Arabia. This comes after they claimed that Riyadh targeted Sana’a airport in Yemen, an area the Houthis control. This is the second incident in two weeks in which the Houthis claimed they would retaliate if Saudi Arabia prevented flights from Iran.
