The Iran–Houthi Axis: From Sanaa to the Red Sea and Riyadh

A timeline tracing how a Yemeni civil war grew into a regional confrontation: the Houthi seizure of Sanaa in 2014 and the Saudi-led intervention in 2015, the long stalemate and drone/missile strikes on Gulf infrastructure, the Red Sea shipping campaign that began in late 2023 and drew US and UK retaliation, Iran's direct exchanges with Israel in 2024 and the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in 2025, and — as reported here and still unverified — deadly strikes on Saudi airports in 2026 with Washington debating renewed action against the Houthis and Iran.
