Houthi leaders have warned against broader international intervention while maintaining indirect diplomatic channels with Washington via Oman, according to Kashmir Life. The conflict has intensified following a disputed airstrike on Sanaa airport, prompting the rebels to seize key coastal positions and threaten to expand the war into an international theater.

  • Kashmir Life reports that Houthi political bureau member Mohamed al-Bukhaiti attributed the latest escalation to a Saudi-led airstrike that blocked an Iranian plane carrying a rebel delegation from landing in Sanaa. The official further confirmed that the group has secured control of the strategic port of Mokha and key Red Sea islands, enhancing their surveillance capabilities over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
