Iranian Guard updates Houthi defenses

Following their military escalation in Yemen, the Houthi group reorganized its leadership and institutions within their controlled areas. They moved commanders and security personnel to major hotels in Sana'a, Hodeidah, and Saada to shield themselves from targeting and to facilitate operational management, all while continuing to receive instructions from Iranian experts led by Ali Mohammad Radaghi. The group also established special operations rooms under Iranian leadership to monitor the media and military escalation, along with creating secret sites and tunnels in provinces like Ibb and Hajja to enhance protection and reduce the risk of targeting. Despite these measures, key leaders have still been targeted, resulting in casualties—including the head of government. Iranian measures also include dispersing missile launch sites and drone deployment locations to minimize detection and targeting chances. The Houthis have utilized fortified camps and sites to launch attacks on facilities such as the Port of Mocha, causing widespread damage and escalating tensions, all in an effort by the group to maintain control points and intensify field operations in a way that protects their leaders and complicates targeting efforts.
