Houthis attack Saudi Arabia from Iraq as conflict widens

On July 30, 2026, Yemen's Houthi rebels, in coordination with Iran-aligned Iraqi militias, launched attacks on Saudi Arabia from Iraqi territory, according to multiple sources. The strikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, drawing in other countries. In response, Saudi Arabia is preparing a sea and possible land offensive against the Houthis. Meanwhile, the United States has carried out strikes on Iran as the widening war engulfs more nations. The situation has left Saudi Arabia in a dangerous stand-off with the Houthis.
