Key Takeaways
AIReuters has reported that Iran sent commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and missile-related equipment to Yemen's Houthi group this month.
On Thursday, Houthi militias targeted two Saudi oil tankers, raising concerns over a potential disruption to another key global oil supply route, as Iran has nearly closed the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation has drawn widespread condemnation from Arab and international actors.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened the Houthis and Iran with "major military retaliation."
Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump said, "The United States will hold Iran responsible, as the Houthis are a subsidiary and/or proxies of Iran, and will impose major military retaliation on Iran, and of course on the Houthis themselves," if further attacks are launched.
