Yemen , Saudi Arabia fight Houthi rebels

Saudi Arabia, Yemen’s neighbor to the north, has launched its own operations against the Houthis. And Yemen accuses Iran of supporting the rebels.

“If there was no support for the Al Houthis from the Iranian religious figures, the conflict would have not taken this long,” said Yemen’s Minister of Information, Hassan al-Lozy. “The Iranian government’s goal is to portray this war as a Shi’ite-Sunni conflict.” VOA
