Saudi Arabia Reenters Yemen Conflict Amid Alliance Breakdown and Renewed Attacks
Saudi Arabia has re-engaged in Yemen's civil war after years of attempting to distance itself, following a breakdown in its alliance with the UAE and inadequate preparation for renewed Houthi attacks. Recent missile and drone strikes have targeted Saudi cities and oil infrastructure, causing casualties and disrupting major events. Analysts attribute the kingdom's return to conflict to miscalculations, including overestimating US support and failing to replace Emirati-led Yemeni forces after Abu Dhabi's withdrawal. The renewed fighting challenges Saudi Arabia's broader plans for economic and social transformation.
