Houthis Threaten to Target Italy if It Joins Attacks on Yemen

The Iran-aligned Houthi group warns Italy against participating in military actions in Yemen, emphasizing the need for Italian neutrality in regional conflicts.

• Mohamed Ali al-Houthi, a senior Houthi official, warned Italy would become a target if it joins attacks against Yemen.
• Italy announced it would lead a European Union Red Sea naval mission to protect ships from Houthi militia attacks, without participating in strikes against the Houthis.
• The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, stated the mission, set to launch in mid-February, aims to protect commercial ships and intercept attacks.
• The Houthi's warning comes amid ongoing tensions and recent U.S. re-designation of the group as a foreign terrorist organization.
• Houthis demand Italy to remain neutral in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and pressure Israel to cease attacks on Gaza for peace in the region.
