Iran-backed Houthis claim missile attack on Saudi Arabia

• • Houthis launched missile and drone strikes against Saudi oil tankers and refineries.


• • US forces disabled a tanker attempting to breach an Iranian port blockade.


• • Attacks have expanded to include Saudi military vessels and civilian areas in Najran.

Context
The Houthis act as a proxy for Iran to exert pressure on Saudi Arabia and disrupt Red Sea shipping. This conflict is part of a broader regional struggle for dominance in the Middle East.

Christian Perspective
The targeting of civilian areas and economic infrastructure reflects the lawlessness of a world without God. These attacks demonstrate the violent consequences of regional instability and the failure of secular international bodies like the UN to maintain order.
