After the US‑Israel strikes on Iran that reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the leader of Yemen’s Houthi movement publicly pledged support to Iran and offered condolences to Khamenei’s family, denouncing the attacks and expressing solidarity with Tehran amid escalating regional tensions. The statement from the Houthi leadership highlighted their backing for Iran’s resistance stance and condemned the military offensive as unjust aggression, while also emphasising unity among allied groups in the region in the face of what they describe as external hostility.
