Iranian-backed Houthis Test Yemen’s New Unity Government
Iran’s intervention in Yemen’s civil war will likely escalate as the country’s newly instated Saudi-led government takes form.
At least twenty-two people were killed and dozens more were injured in an attack at the airport in the Yemeni city of Aden on December 30. One explosion was heard shortly after a plane carrying Yemen’s newly-formed government arrived from Saudi Arabia. International aid workers, officials and journalists were among those killed.
Yemen’s Information Minister accused Iranian-backed Houthi rebels of this “cowardly terrorist act.” Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik mirrored this sentiment in an interview with the Associated Press by stating “It is a major terrorist attack that was meant to eliminate the government. It was a message against peace and stability in Yemen.”
