text: ● The arrival of senior figures from Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and Iranian experts in the Houthi-controlled capital, Sana’a, under the guise of the “Third Conference for Palestine,” marks a dangerous escalation. This move clearly reveals Iran’s intentions to escalate tensions in Yemen and transform Yemeni territory into a platform for settling regional scores and threatening international interests. It is a blatant challenge to international resolutions and a continuation of Iran’s destructive agenda in the region and beyond.
  
  ● For years, Iran has played a central role in arming and supporting the Houthi militia, turning it into a tool for tearing Yemen apart and pursuing its goal of undermining regional stability and expanding its military influence. The Yemeni people continue to pay the price. Today, Iran is sending more weapons and military experts to Sana’a, exploiting Sana’a International Airport and seaports under Houthi control to fuel the war and enable the militia to escalate further, in blatant violation of international resolutions that prohibit arming the group.
  
  ● We warn against the growing direct support from Iran and its allied militias aimed at enhancing the Houthis’ military operations and turning Yemen into a regional battlefield and a new supply line for what is known as the “Axis of Resistance.” This Iranian military expansion in Yemen not only threatens the country’s security, but also poses a direct danger to regional stability and international maritime navigation. The Houthis are merely an Iranian proxy used to destabilize the region and impose Tehran’s agenda in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.
  
  ● In light of this escalation, we call for firm and urgent measures to prevent Yemen from becoming a military foothold for Iran and its allies. These include banning travel by Houthi militia leaders and placing them on international sanctions lists, prohibiting the entry of PMF members, Iranian and Lebanese experts into Yemen, tightening control over air and maritime routes to stop arms, experts, and fighters from entering, and imposing international monitoring over Sana’a International Airport to prevent its use as a military corridor instead of a humanitarian one.
  
  ● We affirm that international silence is not an option. The time has come for serious and effective international action to stop Iran’s interference in Yemen before the consequences spiral into a broader crisis affecting regional and global security. If left unchecked, Iran’s destabilizing project will turn Yemen into a permanent hub for chaos, regional war expansion, and threats to international interests.
  
  The world is facing a historic responsibility: staying silent in the face of Iran’s blatant interference amounts to complicity in the project of undermining peace and security in Yemen, the region, and the world. Immediate international action is imperative to stop this recklessness—before it’s too late.
