The Houthis are reportedly mobilizing forces for a potential offensive in Yemen, according to an Al-Ain report, amid rising tensions with Iran and recent conflicts between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over Yemen policies. They have sent reinforcements to critical areas, including Marib and Hodeidah, potentially targeting Riyadh-backed forces. This mobilization raises concerns about the fragility of the UN-brokered truce established in 2022 and could signal broader regional tensions involving Iranian-backed groups. Observers suggest this escalation may jeopardize the delicate peace in the region.
