Middle East Tensions Escalate as Houthi Missile Strikes Hit Yemen and Saudi Arabia

The tensions in the Middle East are continuously growing as the prime minister and government of Yemen managed to escape an attack by Houthis via a missile strike on their presidential palace in Aden which killed two security guards; the Saudi-led coalition reported 17 casualties from previous attacks by Houthis on their airport in Riyadh, thwarted another missile attack and called for stopping attacks on civilians. Meanwhile, there is increasing displacement in Taiz; an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz caught fire amid increased interference in Iran; and the US has imposed fresh sanctions against Tehran while President Donald Trump is looking into military options  saying that he would not carry out any strikes until after the 3rd November mid-term elections.
