Saudi Drones, Houthi Blockade, and Rising Tensions | Roanoke News
Description
Saudi Arabia intercepts drones launched from Iraq for a second straight day, blaming Iran-backed militias — a claim Iraq’s PM denies while vowing to prevent its soil from being used for attacks. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels in Yemen claim to have forced a Saudi oil tanker to alter course and imposed a blockade on Red Sea shipping, raising fears of regional disruption. Amid a fragile pause in U.S.-Iran tensions, both sides continue to exchange accusations — Iran cites U.S. strikes that damaged key infrastructure, while Washington says its actions were defensive against Iranian attacks on shipping. Proxy warfare and diplomatic efforts remain locked in a tense standoff.
