According to the South China Morning Post, the resumption of Riyadh's campaign against the Houthis, which is supported by regional and Western allies, carries the risk of escalating Tehran's proxy war. Analysts anticipate that the Houthis may respond by increasing the frequency of drone and ballistic missile strikes directed at Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, it is anticipated that Iran's Revolutionary Guards will provide weapons and targeting intelligence to the Houthis, who are considered part of the so-called Axis of Resistance. The South China Morning Post also suggests that the conflict is likely to see an increase in casualties across all involved parties as the war expands and draws in additional international participants.
