Ali Al-Anzi, professor of political media at King Saud University, said that Iran is the main supporter of the Houthis.

Speaking to Al Ekhbariya TV, Al-Anzi added that the international community is responsible for preventing weapons from reaching the militia and for protecting energy corridors and international shipping lanes.

He stressed that it is a shared international responsibility to put pressure on states that support militias and their backers, as energy corridors are a global concern that affect the world economy, just as Iran is currently doing in the Strait of Hormuz.

Al-Anzi continued that the international community must fulfill its duty in this regard, noting that these militias threaten regional security, global stability, and Arab national security. He called for preventing any aid or weapons from reaching the militias and for contributing to the security of energy corridors so they can return to normal.
