French Opposition Parties Reject Macron's Plan to Deploy Troops to Saudi Arabia

Houthi forces have launched multiple ballistic missile and drone attacks targeting critical Saudi energy infrastructure and cities, including Yanbu, Taif, Jazan, and Riyadh. Saudi air defenses have reportedly intercepted these projectiles, but the attacks signify a significant escalation in Houthi deep-strike capabilities and intent. France has confirmed the deployment of military assets, including troops, radar, and air defense systems, to Saudi Arabia to protect Red Sea energy routes and the Yanbu oil terminal, marking a notable increase in international military involvement.
