In the skies above a fractured nation, a single diverted aircraft became the spark that unraveled four years of fragile quiet. Yemen's Saudi-backed government struck Sana'a airport to block an Iranian plane carrying a Houthi delegation home from Tehran, accusing Iran of using the funeral of its supreme leader as cover for transferring weapons and expertise. The Houthis answered with missiles aimed at Saudi Arabia, and a ceasefire that had never been more than an uneasy silence collapsed. What unfolds now is not a new war so much as the resumption of one that never truly ended.
