Saudi officials have accused the Houthi movement of receiving support from regional actors, specifically citing Iran. These accusations come as Houthi forces continue attacks on Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, despite ongoing peace overtures. The Saudi government maintains that these continued aggressions demonstrate a lack of genuine commitment to peaceful resolution from the Houthis. Despite previous attempts, Saudi Arabia is currently refusing direct negotiations with the Houthis under the current circumstances. Officials state the ongoing attacks undermine any prospect of productive dialogue. The conflict in Yemen continues to be a major source of regional instability. This latest development further complicates efforts to bring an end to the protracted war.
