Hoshang Hassaniari, an expert on the Middle East and military affairs, said that the Islamic Republic of Yemen is using the Houthis as a tool to put pressure on Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States and Israel. According to him, Tehran's goal in these attacks is to increase the pressure on regional countries and score points in the war with America.
Hassan Yaari added that an attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities could increase the price of global energy and have wide-ranging economic and political consequences. He emphasized that the continued military support of the Islamic Republic of the Houthis threatens the security of the region and the economic development plans of Arab countries.
