On Sunday, the Houthis said they would attack 300 vital military targets in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. The Houthis pledged last November to stop attacks on Saudi Arabia and the UAE at the request of the United Nations. While attacks on Saudi border areas continued, the Houthis had avoided targeting major cities or infrastructure. Saudi Arabia accused Iran of ordering last week's drone strikes on two Aramco oil pumping stations, which followed sabotage acts on Saudi oil tankers off the UAE coast. Yemen's conflict is widely seen in the region as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
