Yemen Protests against Iranian Meddling before Security Council
Yemen protested on Thursday against Iran's ongoing flagrant meddling in its internal affairs, as well as its destabilization of its security and stability. Yemeni Foreign Minister Shayea al-Zandani sent a letter to Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, current President of the United Nations Security Council and Pakistan's permanent Ambassador to the organization, about Yemen's recent seizure of an Iranian weapons shipment to the Houthi militants this month. Zandani said the shipment was seized at sea and inspections by military experts found that the arms were made by Iran. The incident was the latest in a series of seizures by Yemeni authorities, he added. It demonstrates the Iranian regime's continued interference in Yemeni affairs and blatant violations of the UN Charter, international law and Security Council resolutions. The shipment weighed around 750 tons and held weapons, ammunition and military gear, including Iranian-made Type 358 anti-aircraft missiles, drone components and warheads. In his letter, Zandani said Iranian meddling has allowed the Houthi militias to continue their war against the Yemeni people and carry out attacks against cities and villages, claiming civilian lives. The Houthis have carried out terrorist operations against civilian infrastructure and oil and energy facilities throughout the country, he added. He also noted their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. The continued smuggling of Iranian weapons to the Houthis and Tehran's offering of military, financial and technical support demonstrates the extent of the direct Iranian interference in Yemen, he remarked. Iran's backing of the Houthis is part of its expansionist and destabilizing agenda in the region, he warned. Moreover, Zandani said the weapons shipment shows that Iran is keen on prolonging the conflict in Yemen, hampering efforts to reach a comprehensive political settlement and end the suffering of the people, and keeping Yemen as a platform to threaten international shipping.

Israel Opens Yemen Front Amid Escalating Regional Tensions
Aden — Israel has officially designated Yemen as a new front in its military engagements, responding to recent missile attacks launched by Houthi forces targeting Israeli infrastructure. The announcement came hours after a series of ballistic missiles originating from Yemeni territory struck areas near Ben Gurion Airport, prompting temporary flight suspensions and heightened national alert. The Israeli Defense Ministry stated that the attacks signify 'a new strategic threat,' and that military operations against Houthi positions inside Yemen are already underway. 'Gaza and Yemen are now our primary fronts,' said Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant in a televised briefing. 'We are preparing for a long-term confrontation, and we have a comprehensive target bank within the Yemeni theater.' In retaliation, Israeli drones conducted precision strikes on the port city of Hodeidah, a key logistics hub for the Houthis, aiming to degrade their economic and military capabilities. Israeli military sources indicated that further operations are being planned in coordination with regional intelligence. Strategic Implications Yemen marks a significant shift in its security doctrine, linking the Yemeni conflict to its wider confrontation with Iran. The Houthi movement, widely seen as an Iranian proxy, has intensified its military activities beyond the Arabian Peninsula, signaling a willingness to engage directly with Israel. 'The Houthis have made it clear that their ceasefire with the United States does not apply to Israel,' said Dr. Miriam Tal, senior fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies. 'This opens a volatile new chapter in Middle Eastern dynamics.' Humanitarian Concerns International organizations have expressed concern over potential humanitarian fallout, especially in light of ongoing crises in Gaza and southern Lebanon. UN officials urged restraint and emphasized the need to avoid further destabilization in an already fragile region.
