Yemen’s Houthis Target Saudi Arabia’s Abha Airport

Pro-establishment narrative

The Sanaa airport strike was a legitimate effort to prevent Iran from further reinforcing the Houthis, whose missile and drone attacks continue to threaten regional security and one of the world’s busiest maritime corridors. Tehran’s denials do little to ease concerns given its long record of backing the group. Blocking additional weapons transfers while preserving space for diplomacy is essential to deterring escalation and preventing a wider regional conflict.
