Iran says its Hormuz reopening terms still stand as Houthi-Saudi fighting escalates
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that Tehran is still reviewing U.S. 'comments' on its seven-day ceasefire proposal, under which the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on the sixth day if the U.S. lifts its blockade of Iranian ports, CBS News reported. The Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition traded strikes Sunday: Saudi civil defense said a Houthi projectile injured six people in Najran, and the Houthis' Saba news agency said an alleged Saudi airstrike in northern Yemen killed at least nine. Saudi Arabia said it intercepted two ballistic missiles fired toward Khamis Mushait and a drone fired at Riyadh.
