Saudi Arabia
VS
Houthis
The Houthi–Saudi Arabian conflict is an ongoing armed confrontation between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen, rooted in the broader Yemeni civil war.
Recent escalations include a Houthi-declared naval blockade of Saudi ports, missile and drone attacks on Saudi infrastructure, and Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Houthi positions, including in Hodeidah.
The conflict has been marked by periods of military stalemate and unilateral ceasefires, but current hostilities raise concerns about regional stability.
The two sides remain locked in a dangerous stand-off, with no clear resolution in sight.
