Along the ancient fault lines of the Arabian Peninsula, a war that has ground on for years has entered a sharper, louder register. The Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of striking civilians from the air; Saudi Arabia warns its own people of incoming threats — each side narrating the other as the aggressor. Yemen's suffering, long a slow catastrophe at the edge of the world's attention, now carries the weight of a potential regional unraveling, reminding us that local wars are rarely only local.
