Is Iran Distancing Itself from the Houthis?
(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - Iran may now be distancing itself from the Houthis. Iranian state media IRNA said on March 16 that "the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Maj.-Gen. Hossein Salami, said that Yemen's Houthi 'resistance movement' makes its decisions independently" and that Iran is not involved in the Houthis' decisions. "We declare again today that the Yemenis are an independent and free nation in their own land, with an independent national policy."
