💡 Content Summary

This content explains the conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, focusing on the fact that the Houthis are not merely a ‘proxy force’ receiving instructions from Iran, but a group with independent interests and significant military power. While the Houthis receive support from Iran, they are not an organization controlled by Iran for decision-making; their recent pressure on Saudi Arabia is explained as an action where their own interests align while simultaneously supporting Iran.

The conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia stems from Yemen's complex history and civil war. The marginalization of the northern Zaydi Shia population following the unification of Yemen, the expansion of Saudi Arabia's influence, and anti-American sentiment stemming from the U.S. war in Iraq served as the backdrop for the rise of the Houthis. In 2014, the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and as then-President Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia, a Saudi-led coalition began full-scale intervention in the Yemeni civil war in 2015.

However, despite mobilizing massive military spending and air power, Saudi Arabia failed to eliminate the Houthis. The broadcast cites the primary reason as the difficulty of subduing the Houthis through airstrikes alone, which ultimately necessitates ground forces; however, due to Yemen's rugged terrain and the Houthis's strong combat capabilities, the casualties of a ground battle could become excessively high. It explains that ultimately, Saudi Arabia failed to drive out the Houthis despite prolonged airstrikes and entered into a ceasefire in 2022.

Furthermore, the broadcast emphasizes that the Houthis should not be viewed as the small-scale "rebel group" commonly perceived. The Houthis are referred to as rebels because the international community does not recognize them as a legitimate government; in reality, they control major densely populated areas of Yemen and the Red Sea coast. The broadcast estimates the population of Houthi-controlled regions to be approximately 25 to 28 million, describing them as a force that is virtually a state in itself.

Militarily, the Houthis possess long-range drone and missile attack capabilities. Citing the 2019 attack on Saudi oil facilities as a prime example, the broadcast explains that while Iranian support is indeed important, the Houthis also possess significant capabilities to assemble components and operate weapons independently.

Currently, the Houthis' attacks on Saudi Arabia are seen as having the effect of stimulating oil prices by pressuring Saudi oil exports and the energy and logistics corridors of the Red Sea, ultimately empowering Iran. The United States is also showing signs of avoiding a direct clash with the Houthis out of concern for escalation, and the broadcast explains that it is realistically very difficult for Saudi Arabia to completely eliminate the Houthis militarily.
