US-Iran war spreads as Saudi Arabia, Houthis trade airstrikes in Red Sea escalation

WASHINGTON -- The widening US war with Iran spilled into another flashpoint Saturday as Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi terrorists traded airstrikes, raising fears that fighting is spreading into another critical shipping corridor. The Houthis claimed they struck two Saudi Arabian oil facilities Saturday. The operations successfully achieved their objectives, thanks be to God, Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said. We confirm the blockade on the Saudi enemy is still ongoing in response to their aggression, he added. The Houthis said the barrage was retaliation for Saudi airstrikes Friday on Hodeidah. Regional sources tell me a Houthi attack on Yanbu was expected and Saudi Arabia has green lit a massive lengthy operation against the Houthis, former Pentagon official Alex Plitsas said.
