Yemen and Iran aim to counter Israel
The article discusses Iran's escalation through support for the Houthis in Yemen, and its expansion from the northern regions to other areas, which has led to their positioning in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz, thereby threatening Gulf security and global maritime navigation. It also addresses Iran's attempt to redraw a new political and security map for the region and the increasing risks of the Houthis closing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the world, especially amid U.S. hesitation and its weakened stance. The article indicates that the Houthis have adopted flexible and deceptive policies since taking control of Sana'a in 2014, and suggests that Iran is seeking to establish a regional balance that enhances its influence without engaging in direct confrontation. Meanwhile, the American position remains ambiguous, with the possibility of an increased Israeli role within the region as part of this new balance.
