The United States has warned that fighting between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthi forces could rapidly escalate, according to France 24.
France 24 reported that a missile attack recently targeted Riyadh for the first time since the conflict in Yemen resumed, following a Houthi offensive that seized large areas of Yemeni territory in recent weeks and left hundreds dead.
According to France 24, Saudi Arabia faces these attacks without support from its American ally, raising questions about what options remain available to Riyadh.
