Translated Text: ⭕ What if a new war broke out between Tehran, Washington, and Tel Aviv? And how would it impact Yemen? Yemen will not be immune to the repercussions of any large-scale confrontation involving Iran, especially given the Houthis' military and political ties to Tehran. 🔴 Militarily: The war could push the Houthis to escalate their missile and drone attacks in the Red Sea and against regional targets, opening an additional front and exposing their controlled areas to broader strikes. 🔴 On the ground: Iran's preoccupation with defending itself might weaken its ability to support the Houthis, but that doesn't mean the group will automatically collapse; they've built up military capabilities and local and external supply networks. 🔴 Economically: Disruptions to shipping, rising freight and energy costs could double the suffering of Yemenis, driving up prices for food and fuel in a country that relies on imports. 🔴 Politically: The Houthis' chances in a Yemeni settlement could recede if the country turns into a arena for exchanging military messages, or pressures might accelerate toward a deal that curbs regional threats. In summary: A war on Iran won't necessarily mean the end of the Houthis, but it could alter the regional environment they depend on. And the bigger question: Will the Yemeni government benefit from the potential shifts, or will Yemenis pay the price for a new war they have no say in?
