Yemen VP Calls for New Strategy to Contain Iran-Backed Houthis
Aidarous al-Zubaidi emphasizes the need for coordinated international efforts amid rising Middle East hostilities.
- Yemen's Houthis have escalated attacks on Red Sea shipping, allegedly acquiring hypersonic missiles from Iran.
- Yemen's Vice President Aidarous al-Zubaidi urges a comprehensive strategy involving local, regional, and international stakeholders.
- Current US-UK airstrikes have had limited success and may be strengthening Houthi resolve by framing the West as aggressors.
- Houthi attacks have frozen peace efforts in Yemen, with no immediate prospects for resumed talks.
- The Houthis' support for Hamas and their increased military capabilities pose a broader threat to regional stability.
