The Iranian-backed Houthis have claimed responsibility for a missile strike on Saudi Arabia’s Jizan province, following Saudi air strikes on Houthi-linked targets in Hodeida and Kamaran Island.
The exchange came after the first night in two weeks without reported US or Iranian strikes. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were continuing but warned the United States remained prepared to escalate military action if diplomacy failed.
Key developments:
- Ansarollah media said a missile strike caused fires in Jizan; Saudi authorities issued emergency alerts.
- US Central Command said it disabled a tanker attempting to breach its blockade on Iranian ports.
- Oman held talks in Tehran on the Strait of Hormuz, while the US and UK are preparing a London conference on regional maritime security.
The developments highlight ongoing security concerns in the Red Sea and Gulf region despite continued diplomatic engagement.
