In a recent meeting between Mohammad Abdulsalam, the spokesman for the political bureau of the Houthi movement in Yemen, and Ali-Akbar Ahmadian, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, the two discussed "issues of common interest and the latest developments in the region." 

The meeting shed light on the close collaboration between the Houthi rebels and Iran, particularly in light of ongoing regional issues.

During the meeting, Ali-Akbar Ahmadian commended the Houthi movement for their unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, emphasizing their shared interests in the region. Abdulsalam, in a post on the X platform, stressed the importance of unity against external threats and stated that "Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip is a threat to everyone."

This meeting between Houthi representatives and Iranian officials highlights their strong alliance, especially concerning recent developments in the Red Sea, where Houthi rebels have launched attacks on commercial vessels, and their shared interests related to Israel.

The collaboration between the Houthi movement and Iran continues to be a significant factor in regional geopolitics, influencing events and developments in the Middle East. It remains to be seen how this partnership will shape future regional dynamics and conflicts.
