️🇸🇦🇾🇪🇮🇷 Israel Today: Saudi Defense Minister Khaled bin Salman's visit to Tehran today is aimed at securing a ceasefire with the Houthis in Yemen, which may involve a payment of one billion Saudi dollars to the group through Iran, although no agreement has been approved.
The minister brought the money on his plane, while Saudi sources acknowledged previous financial arrangements related to halting Houthi attacks, but did not confirm a new payment.
The discussions come amid escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi targets and regional efforts to de-escalate tensions, while Riyadh reportedly opposes a new ceasefire or payments before returning Houthi territory seized by Yemen's internationally recognized government.
