Iran-backed groups in Yemen and Iraq are coordinating attacks, raising fresh security concerns for Saudi Arabia and Gulf states.

Regional officials say Houthi rebels helped Iran-backed Iraqi militias plan and execute the July drone swarm attack on Saudi oil facilities. The alleged coordination signals a wider Iranian pressure campaign that could push the Gulf closer to open war.

India has condemned the reported Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, particularly strikes on civilian and economic infrastructure, warning that they threaten regional security and stability.
