Media mentions – Yemen
Houthi groups have an agenda that is fairly detached from Iranian influence, and this is where there is the greatest risk of regional escalation
Let’s face it, the stability of the region hangs by a thread, although no one wants escalation, neither Israel nor Iran, let alone the United States and the European Union
Is there a connection between what is happening in Yemen and Gaza? Yes there is – because the Houthis say it is connected
Alistair Burt comments on the Yemeni government’s call to back a ceasefire in Gaza
It would be just too much of a provocation and they know very well, and Iran knows very well, that would (trigger) inevitably the beginning of a much broader US-led international mission in Yemen
The international community’s response to the Houthi attacks is limited and can only have a partial effect: we cannot fully protect such a vast sea as the Red Sea
