Al Jazeera's analysis indicates a major military escalation in Yemen, with government forces launching "Operation Yemen’s Dawn" and advancing towards the strategically important Bab al-Mandeb strait, engaging Houthi positions. This escalation is linked to Iran's support for the Houthis and could prompt a significant Saudi response to recent airport attacks. While the risk of a region-wide war is increasing, the analysis suggests a peaceful arrangement is still possible if cooler heads prevail. Pakistan and Turkiye have announced support for Saudi Arabia under the Mecca Pact, and limited US involvement remains a possibility.
