The United Kingdom plans to deploy RAF Typhoon fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, aiming to protect cities and national infrastructure amid ongoing threats from Iran-backed Houthi militants. This initiative was announced by the U.K. government on Tuesday.
In recent weeks, Saudi Arabia, a significant oil producer in the Persian Gulf, has faced a series of missile and drone assaults from the militia group. The Houthis are engaging in an offensive tied to the broader Iran conflict, taking control of crucial regions from Saudi-supported forces in Yemen along the Red Sea. They have also targeted high-profile locations within Saudi territory.
