Tens of thousands of people gathered in Sanaa, Yemen, to support the Houthis amid ongoing tensions with Saudi Arabia, as former US national security advisor John Bolton criticized President Donald Trump's strategy in the Iran conflict. The demonstrations, organized to show solidarity with the Houthi rebels, come as Trump reiterated efforts to reach a deal with the group, calling for a potential agreement to end hostilities.
Bolton, in separate interviews, accused Trump of lacking clear objectives and communication in the US campaign against Iran, highlighting what he described as a lack of direction. Meanwhile, Iran's interior ministry reported ongoing diplomatic efforts to resume a Memorandum of Understanding with Islamabad, indicating a shift in regional diplomacy.
The situation in Yemen remains volatile, with the Houthis accusing Saudi Arabia of attempting to attack the holy city of Mecca, a claim the kingdom has denied. As protests continue in Sanaa, the international community watches closely for any signs of de-escalation or further conflict.
