Future of western security is at stake in Yemen civil war, says country’s former PM

The former Prime Minister of Yemen, Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed, has warned that the future of western security is at risk due to the ongoing civil war in Yemen. He believes that if the city of Taiz falls to the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, it would be catastrophic for the region. This is because control of the Bab al-Mandab strait and the road to Aden would be lost, which could have significant implications for global trade and security.

Why it matters

The Yemen civil war is intensifying with the use of drones by Iran-backed militia, which could lead to a new era of radical terrorism. This escalation could have significant implications for western security, as stated by the country's former PM.
