Houthis attack Saudi Arabia under Revolutionary Guard orders
The recent attack by the Houthis on the Yemeni coast in the Red Sea, particularly on the city of Al-Mokha, was carried out under direct orders from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Its goal was to escalate pressure on Saudi Arabia and open a new front in the regional conflict. The Houthis have managed to strengthen their control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a vital waterway that threatens global energy supplies and impacts the oil market, especially amid Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran supports the Houthis through the financing and guiding of weapons, with direct supervision from senior Revolutionary Guard leaders, aiming to expand its influence and undermine the interests of the United States and Saudi Arabia in the region. The Houthis' military gains, including control over Al-Mokha, represent a strategic development in the Yemen war, highlighting their ability to use advanced weapons such as drones. Iran is also attempting to drive up oil prices by escalating regional tensions.
