Iran-Linked Captagon Trade Shifts from Syria to Yemen
Sana'a — Yemeni authorities have seized over 1.5 million Captagon pills in a major drug bust, revealing what officials describe as a strategic shift in regional narcotics trafficking from Syria to Yemen. The shipment, hidden on the roof of a refrigerated truck traveling from Houthi-controlled Sana'a to Saudi Arabia, is believed to be part of a growing network of Iran-backed smuggling operations. The seizure comes amid intensified crackdowns on Captagon production in Syria, long considered the epicenter of the trade. With the weakening of the Assad regime and its allies, including Hezbollah, experts say Iran-aligned groups are now exploiting Yemen's instability to reroute drug flows toward Gulf markets. Brigadier General Abdullah Lahmadi, head of Yemen's drug control authority, stated that the bust highlights 'the scale of trafficking allegedly supported by the Houthis,' who are accused of using narcotics to fund their military operations. Information Minister Muammar al-Eryani warned that the shift 'deepens regional security threats' and reflects 'malicious tactics' by the militia. A 2024 UN Panel of Experts report previously noted the Houthis' involvement in trafficking drugs, arms, and telecom equipment to generate illicit revenue. Analysts now fear Yemen may become a new hub for Captagon production, replacing Syria as the primary corridor for smuggling into Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Political Violence Surges in Yemen as Fuel Imports to Houthi-Controlled Areas Plummet
Sana'a — Yemen is witnessing a sharp escalation in political violence amid a significant drop in fuel imports to Houthi-controlled territories, raising concerns over humanitarian fallout and regional stability. According to recent reports, the Saudi-backed Yemeni government has suspended approvals for fuel shipments destined for the port of Hudaydah, a key entry point for supplies into northern Yemen. As of late June, over 20 fuel tankers carrying approximately 500,000 metric tons of fuel were stranded in the Coalition Holding Area in the Red Sea, awaiting clearance. The move follows allegations that the Houthis misappropriated 45 billion Yemeni rials from a special account at the Central Bank's Hudaydah branch, diverting funds to support their military operations. In response, the Houthis have accused the coalition of orchestrating a blockade, using the fuel crisis as a propaganda tool to rally support and inflate prices in local markets. Meanwhile, political tensions have intensified. Houthi drone attacks on oil infrastructure in government-controlled regions, including the Dhabba Oil Terminal in Hadramawt, have disrupted exports and heightened fears of renewed conflict. These strikes, coupled with the group's refusal to renew a UN-brokered truce, signal a return to aggressive tactics aimed at pressuring the Yemeni government and its allies. Analysts warn that the dual crisis—fuel shortages and rising violence—could deepen Yemen's humanitarian catastrophe. Millions remain dependent on fuel for electricity, water access, and transportation, while political instability threatens fragile peace efforts.

Sana'a: Women's events mark Imam Al-Hadi's arrival, show solidarity with Gaza
Sana'a – Saba: The Women's Authority in the districts of New Sana'a and Sanhan organized two events commemorating the anniversary of Imam Al-Hadi's (peace be upon him) arrival in Yemen, under the slogan 'Imam of Knowledge and Jihad.' The events emphasized that commemorating Imam Al-Hadi's arrival is an opportunity to draw inspiration from his values of justice and effective leadership. His journey, scholarly contributions, and efforts in establishing justice and confronting tyranny and corruption were highlighted as foundations for a state of truth and fairness. The speakers noted that Imam Al-Hadi arrived during a time of fragmentation and conflict and succeeded in ushering Yemen into a new era of unity, truth, and knowledge—setting a model for the revival of the Muslim nation through the path of the Prophet Muhammad's family (peace be upon them). Following the events—which included chants and artistic segments—women from Sanhan and New Sana'a held two rallies in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in support of Gaza. They condemned the crimes of starvation and murder committed by the Israeli enemy and expressed support for the operations of Yemen's armed forces in backing Gaza. The participants affirmed that the Yemeni people's support for Palestine stems from the path of justice and jihad laid by Imam Al-Hadi (peace be upon him). Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
