Yemen’s military attaché in Jordan, Brigadier General Yahya Abu Hatim, said that the Houthi militia no longer threatens only Yemen and Saudi Arabia, but now poses a threat to the international community, global trade, and energy supplies.

Speaking to Al Ekhbariya TV, he added that the international community must turn words into action by designating the group as a terrorist organization and supporting the efforts of the Yemeni government and the coalition to confront it.

Abu Hatim also noted that the Houthi militia is Iran’s strongest proxy in the region and maintains direct control over the Bab Al-Mandab Strait.
