3️⃣ From Local Rebels to Iran's Allies
Once a local Yemeni group, the Houthis now serve Iran's agenda. As their conflict with Yemen and Saudi Arabia grew, Iran saw its chance. Now, they're a tool in Iran's anti-West campaign.
4️⃣ Yemen: Iran's Strategic Prize

7️⃣ Why This Matters
This isn't just a Middle Eastern issue; it's a global security threat. Iran is using groups like the Houthis to destabilize the region and threaten international peace.
