The crisis in Yemen has escalated since the beginning of July with a significant military increase, after the country experienced years of relative ceasefire. The escalation began when Iran conducted a direct flight to Sanaa Airport via Mahan Air, marking the first announced flight in ten years. This was considered by the Yemeni government and the coalition as a violation of Yemen’s sovereignty and an advancement of the Houthis’ military capabilities. It was followed by attacks targeting airports, commercial ships in the Red Sea, and vital facilities in Saudi Arabia, including assaults on ships and oil infrastructure—an escalation threatening to broaden the scope of the conflict. The parties continued exchanging threats, with UN-mediated attempts at mediation, but the situation remains complex, tense, and prepared for confrontation, with increasing regional and international impacts on maritime security and oil supplies.
