Houthis Claim Successful Strikes on Saudi Aramco Facilities in Jizan and Yanbu
Summary
The Houthis, an Iranian-backed proxy force, claimed responsibility for strikes on Saudi Aramco facilities in Jizan and Yanbu, asserting the operations were accurate and successful. This action represents a continuation of Houthi pressure on regional energy infrastructure, aligning with broader Iranian strategy to disrupt Gulf stability and divert attention from Gaza/Lebanon fronts.
