Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, has stated that the Yemeni Houthi group, Ansarallah, is an independent actor and not a proxy of Iran. In a recent post on X, Baghaei accused US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of lying about claims that the Houthis were acting as proxies for Iran. Baghaei emphasized that the roots of instability in the region are due to US military interventions and hegemonic policies, and that if Washington genuinely wanted peace, it would end its destabilizing interventions in the region.
According to Baghaei, Ansarallah is an independent Yemeni actor that takes its own decisions and does not take orders from anyone, nor does it act as anyone's proxy.
