What happened
The Houthi movement, described as an Iran-backed force, has been engaged in sustained, reciprocal military conflict with Saudi Arabia through attacks and blockades. The Houthis have conducted attacks on Saudi territory, including energy infrastructure around Riyadh. This escalation is viewed as part of a wider crisis linked to Iran.
