A Saudi paper headquartered in London, Asharq Al-Awsat, published on 21 June 2025 an article titled "Yemen's Houthis Say Response to US Attack on Iran Only a Matter of Time."
Yemen's Houthis, who have the support of Iran, have been engaged in a sporadic campaign against international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Following the end of US airstrikes on the Houthis, they stopped attacking ships in the region but left the door open to continued attacks on Israel.
Following the US strike on nuclear sites in Iran, a member of the Houthi political bureau said the ceasefire with the United States is over and the group's response to the US attack is "only a matter of time."
