A Houthi official warned the US of a "painful response" if it enters the Yemen war, targeting Saudi oil facilities and airports.
A Houthi official issued a warning to the United States, stating that any American military intervention in Yemen would be met with a swift and painful response. The official indicated that facilities and personnel associated with Saudi Arabia, including oil installations and airports, would be considered legitimate targets. Iran expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions.
This declaration underscores the precarious regional dynamics. The Houthi movement, supported by Iran, has been engaged in a protracted conflict with a Saudi-led coalition. The potential for direct U.S. involvement raises the specter of a wider regional conflagration.
