Iran-backed support enables Houthis to seize Al-Mukha
The article indicates that the Houthi group in Yemen carried out a large-scale attack on the western coast, seizing control of the strategic city of Mokha, with direct support from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Two Iranian sources confirmed that Tehran requested the Houthis to intensify attacks against Saudi Arabia, and that the Houthi campaign was led by elements from the IRGC under the command of Abd Raza Shahlayi. The incident demonstrated an advancement in the Houthis’ capabilities, thanks to sophisticated weapons, including drones, and an expansion of their influence over the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which poses threats to global oil supply routes. This development signals the potential for further escalation in the Yemeni conflict, amid increased regional support, alongside international calls to de-escalate in order to maintain regional stability.
