Day 29 of the Iran war (March 28) marks a major turning point in Middle East geopolitics. Yemen’s Houthi forces have officially entered the conflict, launching ballistic missiles across the Arabian Peninsula toward Israel, with sirens reported in Beersheba and Dimona. Brigadier-General Yahya Saree confirmed the strikes, signalling a potential escalation that could reshape the entire region.
This development expands the conflict beyond Iran and Israel into a broader multi-front war involving Iran-aligned groups in Lebanon, Iraq, and now Yemen. The key strategic question now: will the Houthis attempt to disrupt the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s most critical global shipping chokepoints?
