Yemen conflict expands regional impact and maritime threats
The Yemen conflict has expanded its regional impact, moving beyond a domestic civil war to affect international maritime security and neighboring states. Recent reports of smoke and alarms near Riyadh airport highlight the increasing reach of the conflict.
The war is characterized by three distinct layers: internal power struggles between the Houthi movement (Ansarullah) and various southern factions; a regional proxy struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran; and a global energy security dimension involving the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz. Since 2023, Houthi actions targeting vessels in the Red Sea in support of Gaza have transformed the group from a local militia into a significant actor capable of disrupting global trade.
