Iran's influence in Yemen

The article focuses on Iran's presence in Yemen, clarifying that this presence is not a direct result of recent wars or events, but rather a long-term strategy that began in 1979 to build influence over decades by supporting local allies. It emphasizes the strategic importance of Yemen, especially the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, as a vital location connecting the security of the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea. Iran exploited the weakness of the Yemeni state and internal divisions to strengthen its influence, particularly by supporting the Houthi movement. The article also explains that the Houthis have evolved from a local movement into an advanced army with high military capabilities, impacting regional security—especially through threats to international navigation—making Yemen a key player in regional and international conflicts. It concludes that restoring the Yemeni state, unifying its institutions, and building a comprehensive national project are essential steps to reduce Iranian influence and ensure stability for Yemen and the broader region.
