Saudi Arabia is reportedly preparing for a possible strike against Yemen's Ansar Allah group, commonly known as the Houthis, according to sources cited by Reuters.
The reported preparations come amid continuing attacks attributed to the group against targets inside Saudi Arabia, as well as ongoing fighting in the Yemeni city of Taiz, which has remained a contested area throughout Yemen's prolonged conflict. The sources did not specify a timeline for any potential Saudi action.
Separately, Iran has reportedly put forward a proposal for a political track related to the conflict, which Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are said to be discussing. Details of the Iranian proposal, including its specific terms, were not fully outlined in available reporting.
Yemen's conflict, which has involved the Saudi-led coalition supporting the internationally recognized government against the Iran-aligned Houthi movement, has continued in various forms for years, with periods of intensified fighting interspersed with ceasefire arrangements and diplomatic efforts.
Saudi and Houthi officials have not issued public confirmation of the specific reported preparations or proposals described in the sourcing. The situation remains fluid, and further developments regarding both the reported military preparations and the diplomatic track involving Iran are expected to be closely watched by regional observers.
