Adam Baron, researcher at New America's Future of Security Project, said a drone attack from Iraq on a Saudi oil pipeline underscores how combustible the Middle East is. Since US and Israeli hostilities with Iran began six months ago, he said, a series of linked, multi-front conflicts has been igniting across the region. The Houthis' rapid seizure of a key Yemeni west-coast city from Saudi-backed forces is "an unequivocal turning point", he said, marking the loss of some of Yemen's most strategically important territory. Given Yemen's position, no military movement is weightier than an armed group's ability to enter the Bab al-Mandeb.
