Houthis and Iraqi Militias Forming Broader Alliance
There has been significant development in the relationship between the Houthi movement and the Iraqi factions loyal to Iran, as they have shifted from mere political and media coordination to an operational partnership encompassing military, logistical, and intelligence aspects within the Axis of Resistance in the region. Coordinating centers and field operation bases have been established in collaboration with Iraqi factions, with secret headquarters located in areas such as Jurf al-Sakhr in Babil Province, under the protection of Iraqi militias. This facilitates the movement of personnel and equipment and enhances the Houthis' ability to operate beyond Yemen. Houthi activities are managed internally through an organizational structure that includes leaders like Abu Idris al-Sharqi and Abu Ali al-Azi, and involve financial operations in Iraq used to fund their activities. There is also exchange of military expertise, particularly in the use of drones and long-range missiles. This cooperation raises regional concerns about the exploitation of Iraqi territory in external conflicts, especially as support and military-logistical coordination between the two sides continue to increase.
