How the Houthis Could Put the World in Double Dire Straits

The Yemeni conflict, which has often posed a regional threat to Israel, took a backseat during the recent U.S.-Iran tensions but remains a potential flashpoint. The Houthis, an insurgent group, could escalate the situation by targeting international shipping lanes, which would disrupt global trade and fuel prices. This move could exacerbate the geopolitical strain between major powers, leading to further instability in the Middle East and beyond. Their actions could thus have far-reaching consequences, affecting global supply chains and international security.
