“This is a significant achievement for several reasons: First, it marks the largest agreed release of conflict-related detainees in any round of negotiations between the parties since the outbreak of the current conflict in Yemen. Second, it demonstrates that even amid deep mistrust and prolonged conflict, dialogue can still yield results. And third, it offers hope and relief to thousands of families who have waited far too long - some for over a decade - for the release of their relatives. The families have advocated courageously. Today’s achievement also belongs to them.” Hans Grundberg, the UN Special Envoy for Yemen. Read full remarks: osesgy.unmissions.org/en/news/remark…

Yemen, Houthis, Shabaab and Iran in the Senate Hearing Dagvin R. M. Anderson, Commander of United States Africa Command @USAfricaCommand, told the United States Senate Armed Services Committee: "Iran’s network continues destabilizing activities in Africa to challenge U.S. interests. Tehran’s unmanned aerial systems and advanced conventional weapons smuggled through intermediaries extend the Iranian Threat Network and Houthis into Africa, posing a growing threat to U.S. forces and African partners. Al-Shabaab receives advanced Iranian weapons and training along with weaponized drones that they’ve employed against African Union Forces. Additionally, this relationship has expanded Houthi smuggling routes, allowing them to conduct over 100 attacks on commercial vessels and nearly 50 piracy-related events in the Gulf of Aden since 2023, a marked increase from the previous several years." Separately, Charles Bradford Cooper II, Commander of U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM, told the Senate Armed Services Committee during testimony on the posture of U.S. Central Command: "In the years that followed, Iran’s proxies were degraded in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria, its arsenal of standoff munitions were defeated four times during attempted mass wave attacks against Israel, and its nuclear program suffered a devastating setback during Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER. The regime was down, but not out. Iran can no longer reliably arm or resupply Lebanese Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas, or militia groups in Iraq with advanced weapons. These groups, the Iranian Threat Network, have been the backbone of Iran’s work to destabilize the region. This dynamic presents an opportunity for a generational shift in the regional balance of power." He added: "Sustaining our advantage will require continued enforcement, vigilance against reconstitution, and readiness to act should Tehran choose revenge over restraint. USCENTCOM maintains a ready and resilient posture to deter aggression, defend U.S. forces, enable partners, and provide credible military power, when directed, to support diplomatic efforts and provide the President and Secretary of War with a range of options." Cooper also stated: "More than 2,000 strikes against Iran’s command-and-control structures created leadership vacuums, paralysis, and internal confusion. We have seen reporting of desertions, personnel shortages, and signs of regime desperation in their attempts to compel discipline through arrest and execution. Most importantly for the region’s future, Iran will be highly challenged to proliferate advanced weapons to Lebanese Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas, or the Iraqi militia groups. The supply chain from Tehran to the proxies has been broken." On the Red Sea and Yemen, he said: "The Houthis retain capabilities that hold our partners’ interests at risk, and they continue to expand their influence and ties with a broad range of threat groups along the Red Sea littoral. Though the ceasefire continues to hold following Operation ROUGH RIDER, we continue to closely monitor the situation in Yemen, with a focus on potential threats to the homeland. It is critical that we continue to work with regional partners to ensure that al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula does not take advantage of changes in Yemen to reconstitute and again threaten the homeland."
