Escalation trap: on the U.S. and the war with Iran
The Houthis have imposed a blockade on Saudi Arabia, marking a dangerous escalation in the conflict involving Iran. This move follows the collapse of a fragile ceasefire between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which had previously allowed for limited stability despite the Houthis' control over major Yemeni population centers. Analysts suggest that the U.S. must reconsider its approach to avoid further entanglement in the conflict with Iran.
