Yemen government reports attack on Sanaa airport to block Iranian aircraft

13 Temmuz 2026Al Jazeera

The Yemeni government has reported that its forces conducted an attack on Sanaa airport aimed at preventing an Iranian aircraft from landing. This action underscores the ongoing tensions in the region, particularly concerning Iranian influence in Yemen.
The strike reflects the government's commitment to counter perceived threats from external actors.
Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war since 2014, with the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels controlling significant territory, including the capital, Sanaa. The Yemeni government, supported by a Saudi-led coalition, has been actively working to regain control and counteract Iranian influence in the region.
The Yemeni government's decision to strike Sanaa airport highlights the complex dynamics of regional power struggles, particularly between Iran and Saudi Arabia. This incident may escalate tensions further, as it not only involves military action but also signals a broader geopolitical contest in the Middle East.
