The 2022 truce is on the brink after fresh Houthi-Saudi clashes sparked by an Iranian flight denied landing in Sanaa. What started as an airport strike has now turned into drone attacks, naval blockades, and fears of a regional war. Inside Houthi-held areas, people are starving; but instead of easing pressure, rebels are using the crisis to demand control of airspace, ports, and waters. Their strategy? Turn domestic misery into geopolitical leverage. And with Iran watching closely, Yemen isn’t just fighting for peace; it’s being used as a pawn in a much larger game. The truce may hold for now, but every missile fired raises the stakes. One miscalculation could drag the Gulf into chaos; again.
