Understanding the Houthi group and their ties to Iran
The Houthis are a political and militant organization that follows the Zaydi branch of Shi'ite Islam. They identify as a key member of the Iran-backed "axis of resistance" opposing both the United States and Israel. Established during the 1990s by Hussein al-Houthi, the movement is currently under the leadership of his brother, Abdul Malik al-Houthi. In 2014, the group took control of Sanaa, the capital city of Yemen.
