THE RED SEA FRONT AND YEMEN’S ROLE IN THE IRAN WAR - Join the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative for a virtual panel exploring the internal dynamics shaping the Houthis’ decision to enter the Iran war and how these dynamics will influence whether the Red Sea front remains cold or reignites, further upending global shipping and Gulf security.

The Iran war comes to Yemen following a shake-up in the internationally recognized Yemen government and a surge in Saudi-UAE tensions. Yemen is also four years into a fragile truce that brought Houthis’ attacks on Saudi Arabia and fighting inside the country to a pause. Panelists will also assess how the Iran war is shaping these dynamics and the implications for regional security.
