Iranian advisors take direct command of Houthi battles in Yemen
Reports indicate a significant escalation in Iranian involvement in the Yemeni conflict, with Iranian advisors reportedly taking direct command of Houthi military operations on Yemen's west coast. According to information cited by the Associated Press, these advisors have moved beyond remote strategic planning to active field leadership, coordinating tactical maneuvers and working directly with frontline commanders.
In addition to operational leadership, Iranian advisors are allegedly providing Houthi forces with advanced intelligence capabilities, including the analysis of satellite data and the hacking of government communications. This intelligence advantage has reportedly contributed to rapid Houthi advances, including a movement of over 115 kilometers in less than 48 hours, which culminated in the group entering the strategic coastal area of Al Mokha.
The presence of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps officers and members of Lebanese Hezbollah has been noted in coordination with Houthi forces. This support includes increased logistical training for the use of advanced weaponry, such as suicide drones, ballistic missiles, and unmanned combat boats. Meanwhile, pro-government forces, including the National Resistance, have faced heavy bombardment, including 130 ballistic missiles and 145 suicide drones over a one-month period.
