Houthi forces launch new missile and drone attacks on Saudi military targets on Monday, according to France 24. The strikes come as Iran denies involvement in Yemen’s revived civil war.
In commentary provided to France 24, Dr H. A. Hellyer of the Royal United Services Institute discusses the regional impact of Iran and the network of groups he describes as its non-state proxies. He says the “axis of Iranian centrality” remains one of the more destabilising forces in the region, alongside what he calls the Israeli drive for regional paramountcy.
France 24 frames the developments through both the immediate military episode—attacks attributed to the Houthis—and the broader diplomatic dispute over Iran’s role in Yemen. While the report cites Iran’s denial, it does not present new evidence in the excerpted account beyond expert assessment of destabilising influence across the region.
