> Yemen’s conflict intensified Sunday as government forces attacked Iran-backed Houthi rebels along the Red Sea and the Houthis fired at neighboring Saudi Arabia. After taking Mokha port and an island in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Houthis have added pressure on global oil supplies and prices, potentially giving Iran leverage in its war with the United States.
