Investment Manager's Insider Report: U.S. Offers Recognition to Houthi Government in Yemen
In a shocking turn of events, the U.S. has reportedly offered to recognize the Houthi government in Sanaa in an effort to quell the rebel group's attacks. However, a senior Houthi official's claims have been refuted by a U.S. official, calling them "a total fabrication."
The Houthi official, Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, revealed that there have been communications following each operation conducted by the group, with some calls coming from the U.S. and the UK indirectly. These communications have included threats and temptations, but according to al-Bukhaiti, they have not yielded any results.
Aside from the recent ballistic missile attack on Israel, the Houthis have also targeted ships they believe are connected to or supporting Israel in the conflict in Gaza. These attacks have resulted in significant damage to ships and casualties among crew members.
The conflict in Yemen dates back to 2014 when the Houthis seized control of Sanaa, leading to a civil war. The United States recently designated the group as a terrorist organization in January.
