There’s only one way to defeat the Houthis

Houthi militias are intensifying fighting in Yemen and advancing toward key provinces. This escalation is part of a broader conflict involving Iran, with the group now threatening a second maritime choke point and Saudi Arabia. While the movement is tied to Iranian support, analysts suggest the advance is driven by factors beyond Tehran's influence. The conflict is causing domestic economic strain in Yemen, leading to increased prices for the local population.
