- Houthis warned they are ready for direct military intervention in the US-Israeli war on Iran, with military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree declaring in a video message from Sanaa that 'our fingers are on the trigger.'
- Houthis laid out specific conditions that could prompt their entry into the conflict, stopping short of an unconditional commitment to join the fighting.
Why it matters: The Houthis — a Yemen-based armed group with a track record of regional strikes — signaling conditional readiness to enter the US-Israeli war on Iran would add a third major combatant and widen the conflict's geographic reach, with the group naming trip-wires rather than committing outright.
