A spokesman for Iran's Revolutionary Guards asserted that Saudi Arabia will not succeed in containing the Houthis in Yemen. He warned that the more Saudi Arabia intensifies its attacks, the stronger the retaliation will be, referencing recent developments.

On Thursday, the Revolutionary Guards emphasized the growing capabilities of the Iran-backed Houthi group, which has been launching increased military operations against Saudi targets.

The Houthis have recently claimed responsibility for attacks on key locations within Saudi Arabia. According to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree, the group successfully executed two drone operations targeting Najran Airport and an Aramco facility in the region.

Saree's statement, shared on Telegram, detailed that the group's operations focus on sensitive military sites, reflecting their ongoing strategy against Saudi interests.

The situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in hostile actions, with the Houthis vowing further operations against Saudi Arabia.
