The newspaper notes that the US and Israel, for their part, are trying to avoid provocations that would lead to a response from the Houthis.
Saudi sources told the newspaper that Saudi Arabia had a 2022 agreement with the Houthis not to attack its territory or ships.
On February 28, the US and Israel began striking targets in Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran is carrying out retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on US military targets in the Middle East.
The escalation around Iran has led to the effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil and liquefied natural gas supplies from the Persian Gulf to global markets, and has impacted oil exports and production in the region.
