Saudi Arabia says it intercepts another Houthi-launched missile, and other Mideast developments

Saudi Arabia intercepts another missile allegedly launched by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The missile was fired towards the southwestern city of Khamis Mushait. The claim has not yet been independently verified by the Associated Press. The Gulf Cooperation Council has condemned the latest Houthi attacks as a "grave escalation and threat to regional security."

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has left New York following a busy week at the United Nations General Assembly. Iranian media outlets report that Tehran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming talks on its nuclear program in seven days if certain conditions are met. Israeli settlers have intensified efforts to seize natural springs and heritage sites in the West Bank, which could impact water access for the 2.8 million Palestinians living there.
