Yemen Government Launches Major Offensive Against Houthis; Iran Signals US Proposals
The Yemeni government has initiated a large-scale offensive to reclaim territory from Houthi rebels, marking a significant escalation in the long-running conflict. Iran's vague reference to US proposals and the resignation of its oil minister amid sanctions add diplomatic and energy dimensions. Concurrent Houthi claims of strikes on Saudi refineries and an ambiguous tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz heighten regional risk.

Yemen Government Launches Major Offensive Against Houthis; Strait of Hormuz Tanker Strikes
Yemen's internationally recognized government, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, has launched a major military offensive to reclaim Houthi-held territory, including coastal areas. Concurrently, two tankers were struck in the Strait of Hormuz, and Houthi claims of strikes on Saudi refineries have emerged, indicating a broader regional escalation. The scope and immediate success of the Yemeni government's offensive remain unclear, as does the attribution and intent behind the Strait of Hormuz attacks.
