The Houthis don’t win because they are smarter or better fighters than their adversaries. They win because they are focused and unified, while their opponents tend to be divided and distracted.

China’s ties with Yemen’s Houthis could bolster Beijing’s regional ambitions, but they also risk drawing it into conflicts that complicate its broader strategic goals.

On October 28, AGSI hosted a discussion on the connection between the Houthi-Saudi conflict and the Iran war.

Why have the Houthis chosen to escalate now, and what do they hope to accomplish by bringing the confrontation directly to Saudi soil?

The defense pact with Saudi Arabia is pulling Pakistan deeper into the region’s conflict, jeopardizing its relations with Iran.

For the first time in years, the Houthis may find themselves facing a coalition rather than a single country.

If the U.S. F-35 sale goes through, it will add a new layer to Saudi airpower. But the fifth-generation fighter by itself will not address Saudi Arabia’s present and future vulnerabilities.

Artificial intelligence is entering the Yemen conflict through weapons engineering and U.S.-supported targeting operations, extending a regional transformation accelerated by the war with Iran.
