Iran's Houthi rebels have intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia, including a strike on a gas tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a deadly attack on Riyadh's airport.

Why it matters

The escalation in attacks highlights the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the potential for wider regional instability.

Iran's bad guys are attacking Saudi Arabia. They did it again. The U.S. and Europe are trying to stop it.
