Iran Envoy Disavows Houthi Actions as Tehran's Own Campaign

🎯 TEHRAN — Iran is cutting the Houthi string publicly — which means the string still exists. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Disavowal mid-conflict is a legal and diplomatic shield, not a command reality. Tehran uses this language to deny co-belligerency status under IHL and limit US legal basis for striking Iranian assets in Yemen. It also signals to Gulf mediators that Iran can offer Houthi de-escalation as a concession without formally controlling the outcome.
