Iran's military presence in Yemen is increasingly under pressure as the United States ramps up its threats against the Tehran-backed Houthi group, which has relied on Iranian support—both military and logistical, including advisors—over the past decade.

Less than a month after President Donald Trump declared war on Yemen’s Houthi movement and launched a wave of intensive strikes, “the military campaign” has already cost the United States nearly $1 billion.

Donald Trump's order for "decisive" military action against the Houthis in Yemen has sparked questions over the impact of these strikes and whether they can truly diminish the group's influence in the country.

The U.S. airstrikes on Yemen are unlikely to succeed, risking a prolonged conflict similar to Afghanistan.

The Gulf Cooperation Council's support for parallel entities and the U.S. re-designating the Houthis as a terrorist group reflect growing regional influence and Yemen's political fragmentation.
