Israeli analyst warns of Iran conflict escalation
Israeli analyst Tzvi Barel predicted that the possibility of returning to war against Iran may be looming due to escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, including the bombing of Riyadh Airport which resulted in casualties, and its impact on the World Energy Conference in Riyadh. He explained that the Houthis are seeking to change the rules of engagement and demonstrate that regaining territory will not guarantee Saudi security, and that the war is so prolonged and costly that it prevents Riyadh from achieving its objectives. Barel pointed out that Washington faces a choice between allowing regional chaos to unfold or intervening under conditions that could lead to a broader war with Iran. He considered that the US withdrawal from its role as security guarantor might strengthen the Houthis and Iran, carrying the risk of repeating military intervention in Yemen.
