The United Arab Emirates reported that one of its ships was targeted by an Iranian missile, while Yemen's military attacked the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Turkey's parliament approved a Kurdish peace bill, and a defense agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey was discussed, though it is not aimed against any third country. Meanwhile, Yemen's military launched attacks on the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in response to their recent strikes in Yemen.",
