Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Tehran to discuss regional tensions, as Iran-backed rebels launched ballistic missiles at a military camp in southern Yemen, killing at least 20 troops. The attack, which occurred on Monday, has raised concerns about escalating violence in the region. Reports indicate the missile strike was carried out by Iranian-backed militia, marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The attack follows renewed reports of Iranian support for the Houthis, with Yemen war resurging after a period of relative calm. Saudi cities have been targeted in recent attacks, prompting renewed scrutiny of Iran’s role in the conflict. Iranian military commanders have also signaled readiness for further confrontation, with public statements hinting at potential escalation against U.S. And Israeli forces.
Iran’s involvement in the Middle East has intensified in recent months, with diplomatic efforts by Russia to mediate regional disputes. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized Iran over stalled nuclear talks, accusing the country of obstructing peace efforts. The latest attack underscores the complex and volatile nature of the conflict, with multiple actors vying for influence in the region.
