Yemen's president calls on his people to mobilise against Iran-backed Houthis

  • On Friday, Presidential Leadership Council head Rashad Al-Alimi called for general mobilization, urging Yemeni citizens to rally around the Yemeni Armed Forces against the Iran-backed Houthis.
  • The Houthis seized Yemen's entire Red Sea coast and continue attacking Saudi Arabia, escalating conflict since the group captured the capital, Sanaa, in 2014 and displaced the government to Aden.
  • Military chiefs from Saudi, Turkiye, and Pakistan held talks earlier on Friday regarding support for Riyadh, following recent attacks on Saudi targets that ended a long-standing regional truce.
  • Alimi requested American assistance in a call with President Donald Trump earlier this week, yet Trump did not promise military help, mirroring his recent rebuff of a Saudi request.
  • The New York Times reported the crown prince called Trump on Sunday "to implore him, again" to help counter the group's advances, highlighting urgent diplomatic pressure as regional tensions escalate.
