AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoUN Warning: UN envoy Hans Grundberg says Yemen is at the highest risk of sliding back into large-scale conflict since the 2022 truce, as clashes between Iran-backed Houthis and government forces intensify across Marib, Hadramout and al-Makha (Mocha), with renewed risk that Red Sea shipping attacks could pull Yemen deeper into the US-Iran standoff. Saudi-Yemen Escalation: Yemen’s foreign ministry warns Saudi Arabia that “negative interventions” are over, while Houthis claim a second drone strike on Saudi Aramco’s Jizan refinery in less than a week, citing “violations” of Yemeni sovereignty. Red Sea Security: A Saudi-led maritime coalition is moving toward operational activation, with 15 countries signing on to protect Bab el-Mandeb and the Red Sea, as Yemen-linked attacks keep pressure on global trade routes. Humanitarian Pressure: UN relief chief Tom Fletcher warns Yemen’s humanitarian appeal is barely funded enough to keep services running, with hunger rising and health systems crumbling, especially for women and girls. US-Iran Backdrop: The US says it can maintain an “indefinite” naval blockade of Iran and will increase economic pressure, while Hormuz remains effectively closed—conditions that keep the region volatile and Yemen exposed.
