Yemen Clashes Kill Over 300 as Civilians Flee Conflict Zones
⚔️ YEMEN — Three hundred dead while Iran's most active proxy is fighting itself. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Houthi capacity to open Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb fronts depends on internal cohesion and supply lines from Tehran — both strained if 300 are dead in domestic clashes. Iran's horizontal escalation doctrine requires proxies operational; a destabilized Houthi rear reduces pressure Washington feels on a second maritime front. Timing matters: Tehran needs every lever working now.
