Saudi Arabia Running Low on Interceptors as Iran Offers to Mediate

Saudi Arabia is facing a shortage of interceptor missiles for its air defense systems, news outlet The Media Line reported. The depletion is felt amid a wave of missile and drone strikes launched by Yemen's Houthis against airports and targets across the kingdom.

Meanwhile, according to Israeli newspaper Maariv, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi attempted to project an effort to de-escalate tensions and offered to mediate between Riyadh and the Tehran-backed militia. Further details regarding the terms of the proposed mediation or an official response from Saudi Arabia have not yet been released.
