Saudi Arabia claims that Iran, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias are preparing to attack the kingdom, according to a report published in media outlets. In Riyadh, they threaten to respond to any threat, against the backdrop of preparations for a possible military operation in Yemen and the growing tensions in the Red Sea. A Saudi source said that the intelligence information was received with astonishment, as it comes at a time when Saudi Arabia is working to promote calm and peaceful solutions. The report comes amid Saudi preparations for the possibility of a broad military operation against the Houthis in Yemen, which may include a naval operation and even a ground attack in the center of the country, due to fears of harm to oil exports through the Red Sea. Saudi forces were observed withdrawing from eastern Yemen as a possible preparation for an attack in Al-Bayda province. Saudi Arabia is working to establish an international naval coalition, and 14 countries expressed support for the initiative. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree claimed an attack with missiles and drones that caused hundreds of casualties, without confirmation from an independent source, and warned Saudi Arabia against a 'foolish act'.
