🇸🇦🇾🇪⚡️ — Saudi Arabia appears to be preparing for a renewed war with the Houthis (Ansarallah) following weeks of attacks targeting Saudi ships, airports, and oil facilities, NYT reports.
Analysts warn that a new Saudi campaign could deepen the wider Middle East crisis and potentially open another front in the Iran war.
