The risk of an expanded Iran war grew on Saturday as Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis on Saturday launched their first attacks on Israel since the start of the conflict, even as additional U.S. forces reached the Middle East, Reuters reported.
Speaking before the strike, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States expected to conclude military operations within weeks, although a new ‌deployment of U.S. Marines started arriving in the region. The Houthis said they would continue their operations until the "aggression" on all fronts ended.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose government hosts a meeting with the Turkish and Saudi foreign ministers on Sunday to seek to ease regional tensions, according to Reuters.
