Former Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed warned that the security of the West is at risk if the Iran-backed Houthis gain control of Taiz, a strategic city near vital maritime routes. He urged Western support to counter the Houthis' growing military capabilities, particularly their acquisition of advanced drone and missile technologies, which pose a significant threat to regional stability and may facilitate Iran's expansionist ambitions.
