Washington shifts stance on Yemen
Former U.S. envoy to Yemen, Tim Lenderking, criticized the Biden administration's waning interest in the Yemeni issue, warning of the risks posed by Houthi attacks on international shipping and their expansion in the Red Sea, which threaten global trade routes and regional economies. He explained that the Houthis are moving toward regional ties with Al-Shabaab in Somalia and are active outside Yemen, in addition to the presence of some Iranian Revolutionary Guard elements in Sanaa. This makes them regional actors who threaten maritime security in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Indian Ocean. Lenderking also ruled out the possibility of escalating confrontation with Israel at this time, given the Houthis' weakened capabilities following previous strikes.
