Foreign Affairs: Houthis as Iran Proxy
A report by Foreign Affairs highlights the increasing activity of the Houthi movement outside Yemen, particularly in Africa, where they have leveraged their military expertise and drone and missile technology to establish an advanced Iranian-backed presence stretching from Yemen to the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa. This development is reshaping the security landscape in the region, with smuggling operations and safe havens building up along the African coast. There is also evidence of agreements between the Houthis and the Somali-based Al-Shabaab to transfer weapons and provide training. This expansion of Iranian influence poses a threat to the stability of the region.
