The Houthis Have Become a Global Threat Beyond Iranian Control

Former US Special Envoy to Yemen Tim Lenderking emphasized that the Houthis have slipped out of Tehran's control, transforming into a global security threat capable of carrying out long-range attacks.

Independent Action Outside of Iranian Control

Former US Special Envoy to Yemen Tim Lenderking stated on Thursday that the Houthis are acting increasingly independently from Tehran and pose a clear international danger.

Lenderking expressed that while the group was initially strengthened by its ties to Iran, it has now developed domestic capabilities and become largely independent of Iran's necessity.

The Toll of Deadly Attacks Against Saudi Arabia

Turki al-Maliki, the spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition, announced that 17 people lost their lives in attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.

According to statements made, the airport in question has been the target of numerous missiles and drones since the beginning of October.

Comprehensive Supply Chains and Financing

It was stated that the Houthis have established their own weapons supply chains, smuggling networks, and local financing operations through black-market oil sales.

The group continues to constantly develop its military capacity by increasing its economic power through methods such as taxation and extortion.

Critical Energy Infrastructure and Global Risks

Critical energy facilities, pipelines, and desalination plants, as well as the Aramco headquarters in Dhahran, are also under threat.

Experts warn that this situation could lead to severe disruptions in global energy markets and maritime trade routes.
