Iran flew IRGC commanders, missile gear to Yemen's Houthis: Reuters
Reuters reported the flight carried IRGC commanders and missile-related equipment, and the Houthis later declared a naval blockade and attacked Saudi-linked shipping.
- On Friday, the Saudi-led coalition struck Houthi military targets in Hodeida, Yemen, responding to rebel attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. Spokesman Turki al-Maliki stated the "military response is now over" after destroying threats to shipping.
- Tensions escalated after Houthi rebels claimed attacks on two Saudi ships this week. On Monday, the group warned they would target vessels "belonging to Saudi enemy" that failed to comply with their maritime blockade.
- Strikes hit a telecommunications building near Hodeida port and a naval base at Ras al-Kathib on Kamaran island, injuring two people. Ansarollah media alleged the kingdom targeted civilian facilities during the operation.
- Vowing retaliation, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels posted on Telegram that the targeting of facilities "constitutes a dangerous escalation." They affirmed that these "recent crimes will not go unanswered" by the group.
- The conflict complicates Saudi Arabia's ability to supply global markets, as the Red Sea port of Yanbu handled 92 percent of seaborne crude exports in June. The violence threatens a 2022 truce between the parties.
