Yemen's Government Launches Offensive Against Iran-Backed Houthis Amid Renewed Conflict
Yemen's Saudi-backed government has launched a military counteroffensive against the Iran-backed Houthis to reclaim territory under their control. The Houthis, a military, political, and religious movement ruling northwest Yemen, have disrupted Red Sea shipping and regional stability through attacks on cargo ships and missile strikes, including actions supporting Palestinians during the 2023 Israel-Gaza conflict. Originating in the 1990s as a revivalist Zaydi Shi'ite group, the Houthis seized Yemen's capital in 2014, intensifying the ongoing civil war and regional tensions.
