Yemen’s Houthi Leader Pledges Alliance With Iran Against U.S. and Israel

Yemen’s Houthi chief, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has formally declared his movement’s alignment with Iran in its growing confrontation with the United States and Israel. He warned that any U.S. support for Israeli operations against Iran would be viewed as a direct threat to Yemen and the broader Islamic world. Al-Houthi framed the fight as an existential struggle against Western influence, accusing the U.S. of enabling regional domination and resource plundering. He invoked religious duty, calling on Muslims to unite under the banner of jihad for freedom, dignity and sovereignty. Security experts caution that this open alliance could further disrupt shipping in the Red Sea and heighten the risk of direct clashes with U.S. forces. Observers fear the conflict may spiral into a wider regional war with serious humanitarian and economic fallout.
