UK scholar: UAE and Iran pressure Saudi in Yemen
Experts, including British academic Andreas Craig, have stated that the UAE and Iran are exerting pressure on Saudi Arabia regarding the Yemen file. This is evident from the first public appearance of the leader of the Yemeni Southern Transitional Council, Aidrous Al-Zubaidi, who is based in the UAE. Al-Zubaidi called for a general mobilization against the Houthis in defense of southern Yemen, while also demanding that Saudi Arabia recognize the constitutional declaration declaring the independence of South Yemen within its pre-1990 borders. This reflects an attempt to link the council's participation in the war against the Houthis to political recognition. His recent appearance sparked controversy over the location of the filming, with accusations of UAE backing. During his speech, Al-Zubaidi emphasized solidarity with Saudi Arabia and called for unified defense against the Houthis.
