The potential escalation comes amid intensifying regional violence, including Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen and claimed Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports, oil facilities and a military base.[1][2] Iran has warned it will not allow U.S. warships to enter the Persian Gulf, adding to the risk that any new strikes could trigger retaliation against American, Israeli or Gulf targets.[5]
