The Houthis have recently scaled back public statements on their military strength and capabilities, following a directive from their leader, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi.
As regional tensions rise, the Houthis are preparing for "historical field surprises" signaling readiness for a limited or full-scale conflict.
The note provides the Houthi description of these “surprises”, including:
- Preparations for all possibilities on Yemeni soil and the Red Sea region, including Bab El-Mandeb Strait
- Preparations for large-scale conflicts with U.S. and Israeli forces
