Cairo/Dubai: Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthis attacked energy facilities and cities in U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, wounding more than 70 people and underscoring the risk of the Iran conflict escalating into a wider regional war.
The six-month-old conflict in Iran has been marked by a cycle of pauses followed by periodic flare-ups since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on February 28 that were aimed at ending Tehran's nuclear programme, halting its ability to attack its neighbours and curtailing its support for regional proxies.
