הלם בתימן: "איראן תקבל את ההחלטה הראשונה על החות'ים - הקלף הזול ביותר"

הערכה

This analysis frames the Houthis as both a serious regional threat and a structurally weak phenomenon dependent on Iranian backing. The suggestion that Iran will make the first decision about the Houthis indicates Tehran holds decisive leverage over the group's fate. The characterization of the Houthis as 'the cheapest card' implies Iran may treat them as expendable. The key question is whether Iran will sacrifice the Houthis to secure other strategic interests.
