Afrah al-Zouba, Foreign Minister of Yemen's internationally recognized government, stated in an interview with Turkey's Anadolu Agency that the Houthi group has acquired the capability to manufacture weapon systems within Yemen, thanks to the knowledge and assistance of Iranian experts. She noted that the Houthis are attempting to transform Yemen into a platform that threatens the region and the world, with their recent threats to shipping in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait serving as clear indicators. The Yemeni government launched "Operation Yemen Dawn" on October 5, aiming to liberate the country from Houthi control, restore national strength, and regain control over Yemen's sovereign decisions. She also mentioned that the Houthis have used negotiation rounds to rearm and enhance their capabilities, and have cooperated with "terrorist" organizations in the Horn of Africa and other regions. Disarmament, restoration of state institutions, and the integration of the Houthis into Yemen's political structure are preconditions for achieving peace.
