‘Every shot fired’: Are Yemen’s Houthis a proxy force for Iran?
Al Jazeera
The Houthis heavily align with Iran, but they have increasingly tried to showcase their autonomy.
Tehran, Iran – The United States has continued its attacks on Yemen, injuring people and causing extensive damage.
After he ordered a bombing campaign against the Houthis – which has so far killed at least 53 people since Saturday – President Donald Trump said he would hold Iran responsible for any attacks by the group against shipping in the Red Sea.
Iran and Yemen’s Houthi movement have long been allies, part of a regional “axis of resistance” against Israel and the United States.
However, the extent of the relationship is often disputed. Some see the Houthis as an Iranian proxy, while others view the Houthis as a group friendly to Iran, but independent.
On Friday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that his country has no need for proxies and that the Houthis act in their own interests.
