Proxy fight in Yemen heats up, risking new front in US-Iran war

The Houthi rebels' capture of a key Yemen port city has intensified tensions between Iran and the U.S., potentially opening a new front in the broader conflict between Tehran and Washington. With Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally, urging President Trump to strike back against the rebels, the U.S. has bolstered its support by sending over 100 advisors to help Saudi forces. This escalation underscores the complex geopolitical stakes, as any U.S. military action could further enmesh the region in the Iran-U.S. conflict, risking broader regional instability.
