Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels say they fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in response to Saudi airstrikes on Yemen's strategic Red Sea city of Hodeida. The claim on Saturday marks a further escalation over vital shipping routes in the Middle East as the United States and Iran vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reported no U.S. strikes overnight for the first time in nearly two weeks. U.S. Central Command hasn't commented on the apparent pause. The Strait of Hormuz remains a focal point of the fighting due to its importance to global energy supplies.
