Iran denies role in Houthi attacks after Saudi accusation

Iran publicly denied involvement in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, responding to Riyadh's accusation that Tehran encouraged the escalation. The denial is a standard diplomatic rebuttal, but the exchange signals heightened tension between the two regional rivals. The actual extent of Iranian support for the Houthis remains unverified, but the public spat could complicate any de-escalation efforts.
