The United States has conducted strikes against the Houthi rebels for the twelfth time, raising questions about the nature and duration of these operations. According to signals from the White House and the Pentagon, it appears that this is not a one-off event but rather part of a sustained operation against the proxy groups. However, the open-ended nature of this campaign and its potential duration remain uncertain.
While the focus has been on the Houthi situation, concerns are growing over the possibility of a larger conflict with Iran. Recent actions by Iran, such as launching attacks into Iraq, Syria, and Pakistan, indicate a more proactive and assertive stance. There are genuine fears that Iran will respond if its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is targeted. The statement that the drone used in the recent attack was an Iranian-made drone provided to the militias further raises the possibility of targeting Iranian assets directly.
