WorldAs Yemen conflict intensifies, Iran the winner?

Yemen’s conflict escalated on Sunday as government forces attacked Iran-backed Houthi rebels along the Red Sea, while the Houthis fired into Saudi Arabia, which backs Yemen’s government. After capturing the port city of Mokha 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.
