Yemen Conflict: Gulf Re-engagement, Houthi Missile Production, & Escalated Strikes

The Yemen conflict is escalating with the UAE and Saudi Arabia reportedly re-engaging in coordinated military support for southern Yemeni forces, coinciding with increased Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi cities. Concurrently, the Houthis are claimed to be advancing indigenous ballistic missile production capabilities, potentially utilizing Chinese-sourced components, indicating a shift from assembly to local manufacturing. The extent of direct Iranian support for these Houthi advancements and the durability of renewed Gulf cooperation remain uncertain.
