Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia have returned to conflict, according to reports examining a renewed phase of the country’s war. New Lines Magazine described a seven-day Houthi offensive as having changed the course of the fighting, while The Maritime Executive reported that the group had consolidated its gains and paused before a possible further push.

The renewed hostilities have also focused attention on the Bab el-Mandeb, the narrow strait known as the “Gate of Tears.” The Los Angeles Times described the waterway as a new flash point in the Iran war. Other reports said the Houthis have grown stronger through years of war and that Saudi Arabia’s strategy in Yemen has faltered.
