Escalating Tensions: Houthi Strike on Saudi Border Injures Two Amid Regional Conflict

Houthis claim responsibility for an attack on a Saudi military base as at least 1,400 refugees arrive in Djibouti from Yemen in just 24 hours. Meanwhile, a strike on an Iranian commercial vessel kills one, and Bahrain confirms it will not join the proposed ministerial meeting on Hormuz. Djibouti continues to receive refugees fleeing from Yemen.

Trump and Hegseth denounce Iran at a 9/11 memorial, while questions are raised over whether the Houthis are using AI to build and operate weapons. Trump states he has 'no regrets' over Iran action and predicts the Iran war will end after midterms.

In other developments, an Israeli strike hits a residential area in Gaza, an Iranian attack leaves a hole in a tanker off the Iraq coast, and the US claims it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers. Following the aftermath of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, Trump calls for an end to Iran's nuclear programme.
