Prospect of Military Confrontation Between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the Zionist Regime

Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior West Asia affairs analyst stated that the recent ceasefire agreement between Yemen’s Ansarullah and the U.S., mediated by Oman, led to the cessation of Ansarullah’s attacks on non-Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the suspension of American airstrikes.

This diplomatic shift must be understood as the result of intersecting security, economic, and geopolitical factors.
