🔻UN special representative warns about the possibility of Yemen being pulled back into a full-scale internal war

🔻The UN special representative for Yemen has warned that if the scope of confrontation between Iran and the United States expands into Yemen, the country could fall again into a full-scale internal war.

Hans Grundberg told the UN Security Council that at the front lines of the fighting between Iran-backed Houthi forces and forces loyal to the Saudi government, military activities have intensified.

The two sides reached an agreement on a ceasefire in 2022. But fighting has escalated since last month, when the Houthis said they have imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in an open show of support for Iran.
