We saw Hezbollah, of course, another Iranian ally.
They got involved very quickly once the supreme leader, Al-Atala Ali Khamenei, was killed.
The Houthis haven't, but they have chosen now, this weekend, as their point to do it.
And it really could be quite a significant moment.
Just tell us about the significance of these attacks today.
This is a new front within the war.
And of course, I don't want to downplay the significance of those missile attacks.
But what really is going to be crucial here is whether the Houthis, and this is something they've said they might do, decide not to attack Israel, but to attack shipping going through the Red Sea, specifically something called the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Now, this matters because of the massive economic consequences this war is having, especially on global oil supply.
Just to give you the bigger picture, Saudi Arabia normally exports its oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
That has been shut by the Iranians.
We've talked about that a lot.
To counter that, they've started pumping their oil in a pipeline across the country and exporting it down through the Red Sea, sending it to Asia that way.
The Houthis have the capability, and they've done it before, they did it during the war in Gaza, to effectively shut or to try and blockade the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
Now, if they do that, Saudi Arabia will lose a huge amount of its capacity to export oil to Asia, to the Far East, and that will have huge economic consequences.
It might make what we're seeing so far, which is very serious, look pale into insignificance.
I don't want to overstate this, but it
It could be potentially very serious if they decide to take that action.
So the Saudis obviously waged a long war against the Houthis.
And evidence is that the Houthis are still there holding part of the country.
