Hodeidah Governor Al-Hasan Taher said that Houthi attacks along the coast and in the Red Sea are a response to Iranian demands.

He told Al-Hadath that the Houthis want to prove to Iran that they are trustworthy, and that they continue to mobilize militarily, with the people of Tihama paying the price.

Taher added that Houthi attacks are forcing peaceful residents to flee, while Yemeni armed forces are prepared to deter the Houthis. He noted that the militias have been unable to make any progress on the frontlines.
