After nearly two weeks of the Iran war, of US strikes on Iran and Iranian retaliation against targets in Gulf Arab states, both sides ceased their attacks by July 25.
Meanwhile, the US-Iran war has also reignited the war between the Yemeni Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which has been dormant since 2022.
Hence, Washington will likely be again incentivised to hit Iranian nuclear targets as well as its Hormuz infrastructure, until it is satisfied with the degradation of Iranian capabilities.
In turn, Saudi Arabia bombed the Houthi-controlled Hodeida port, which handles over 70% of Yemen’s logistics, trade, and humanitarian aid.
Naturally, a Houthi attack on a future Saudi nuclear power plant will often be more dangerous than strikes on oil facilities.
