The Houthis have openly threatened Türkiye for the first time: "If you get involved, we will respond with an iron fist." But can they actually hit Turkey?
In this video we explain who the Houthis are. We follow their path from the 1,000-year Zaydi Imamate and the Saada wars to the fall of Sanaa, and show how they became Iran's key proxy on the Red Sea. We also look at why the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan rattled them so badly.
Then we break down their arsenal: the Palestine-2 hypersonic missile, Toufan, Quds-3 cruise missile and Samad-3 kamikaze drones. We measure each one against the 2,200–2,400 km distance to Turkey. Where is the real risk? Turkish bases in Somalia and Qatar, al-Shabaab, or the Bab el-Mandeb Strait?
Do you think these threats should be taken seriously? Let us know in the comments 👇
