Military activities by the Ansar Allah (Houthi) rebel movement, which operates against government forces in Yemen’s southwest, are no longer part of a domestic conflict, Shaya Mohsen al-Zindani, prime minister of the internationally recognized Yemeni government, said.

Al-Zindani sees what he called “Iran’s systematic support” for the Houthis “as a platform for threatening regional security and international interests,” according to Al Jazeera.
