Iran Proxy Houthis test ‘Islamic NATO’ as missiles & drones hit Saudi‑backed forces in Marib?

The developments are raising fresh questions about the strength of Iran's regional proxy network and whether the Houthis could become a key test for closer security cooperation among Iran's allies. Marib remains strategically important because of its energy resources and its position in Yemen's wider conflict.
