The widening violence risks creating a major regional security and energy crisis. Saudi facilities and targets in Yemen have come under attack, while coalition forces say they have intercepted drones and missiles. The reported maritime attacks in the Strait of Hormuz threaten one of the world’s most strategically important shipping routes and could draw in additional regional and international military forces. The situation remains fluid, with strikes and counterstrikes continuing across multiple fronts.
