Houthi-Saudi attacks intensify as Strait of Hormuz talks are postponed
The Houthis claim Saudi Arabia carried out more than 300 airstrikes and vow expanded retaliation, while Saudi Arabia promises a firm response. Iran-Gulf talks on reopening the Strait of Hormuz have also been postponed.
Large-scale reported airstrikes and threatened retaliation raise the risk of wider regional escalation and disruption to key Red Sea and Gulf energy routes.
