En direct : les Houthis revendiquent des attaques contre deux pétroliers saoudiens en mer Rouge
Les rebelles houthis du Yémen, pro-iraniens, ont revendiqué des attaques mercredi soir en mer Rouge contre "deux pétroliers saoudiens", semblant ouvrir un nouveau front dans le conflit au Moyen-Orient, pendant que les États-Unis poursuivaient leurs frappes contre l'Iran. Les Gardiens de la Révolution iraniens ont annoncé jeudi avoir stoppé trois pétroliers qui tentaient de franchir le détroit d'Ormuz, sans préciser à quel moment. Suivez notre direct.
