It’s amazing that the Houthis just target Saudi Arabia for *no reason at all* when Riyadh only ever wanted to help Yemen. There’s definitely a US-led 80 nation coaliton on the way to fight them any minute now.

The international community should set a clear goal to end the Yemeni group as an armed terrorist force.

Israel's breach of Iranian airspace and Iran's decision not to respond, fearing it was a trap designed to force Trump's hand and help Netanyahu in today's elections, reduces the likelihood of Iran launching preemptive strikes against Trump before the midterms.
