YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ripple effects of the Saudi-Iran rapprochement relieve some of the tensions of the ongoing war in Yemen.

The civil war in Yemen broke out in late 2014 when Iran-backed Houthi rebels seized the capital Sanaa and took over the government.

The war escalated in 2015 when a Saudi-led coalition of nine countries, including Egypt, Jordan, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates intervened in an effort to restore the former government, which is internationally recognized.

The conflict in Yemen has since been seen as a proxy war between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran.
