Yemen government says it attacked Sanaa airport to block Iranian aircraft

Yemen's internationally recognized government claimed its forces targeted Sanaa airport to stop an Iranian aircraft from landing, citing concerns over Iran's influence in the region. The head of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad al-Alimi, emphasized the need to avoid expanding the conflict to prevent Iran from involving Yemen in broader regional wars. This move underscores the ongoing tensions and the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the Middle East, with implications for both Yemen's civil strife and wider regional security.
