Saudi Deputy FM Accuses Iran of Escalating Yemen Conflict

Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Riyad Kremli publicly accused Iran of orchestrating the recent escalation in Yemen's conflict, where Houthi forces have intensified attacks against Saudi-backed government forces. This marks a sharpening of Riyadh's rhetoric against Tehran, potentially signaling a shift toward more confrontational diplomacy. The claim is unverified and likely reflects ongoing regional tensions rather than a confirmed operational link.
