Houthis Strike Aramco Oil Sites Amid Escalating Tensions with Saudi Arabia
Yemen's Houthi rebels have escalated their attacks against Saudi Arabia, striking oil sites owned by Aramco on the Red Sea coast over the weekend. This comes after a Saudi-led military alliance bombed Houthi military positions in the port city of Hodeidah on Friday.
The conflict marks a second front in the US war on Iran, which has been ongoing for several years. The US has been providing military support to its allies in the region, including Saudi Arabia, in an effort to counter Iranian influence.
