A Houthi leader outlines three key reasons that may compel the group to intervene militarily in the ongoing conflict involving the U.S. and Israel against Iran.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, a senior member of the Houthi movement in Yemen, Hizam Al-Asad, expressed that the American-Israeli war against Iran symbolizes a broader Zionist-American aggression aimed at the geography and peoples of the region. He stated that the apparent objective is to reshape the Middle East under the absolute dominance of Israel, underscoring the group's perception of a pressing ideological struggle. Al-Asad characterized the potential assassination of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei as a gross violation of religious, moral, legal, and humanitarian principles, framing such acts as part of an assault on symbols of resistance in the area.
