Al-Alimi warns of Houthi conflict potential
The article focuses on the speech delivered by the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman, Rashad Alimi, in which he called for the re-establishment of state institutions and the end of the Houthi coup. It emphasizes that the speech carries political implications related to Iran's escalation against the Gulf and its obstruction of oil exports. The article also discusses the capacity of the legitimate Yemeni government to engage in a broad military campaign against the Houthis, which would require military support and aerial cover from Saudi Arabia, although Riyadh prefers to reduce its direct involvement. A central challenge highlighted is the government's ability to unify internally and form a cohesive national front, as tribal and political divisions remain significant, complicating the execution of a large-scale military operation. The article concludes by stressing that any military action necessitates extensive political, military, and media preparations, while Alimi's speech appears more as a reactive or adventurous move rather than a realistic plan for defeating the Houthis and safeguarding regional interests.
