Iran-backed Houthi rebels warn against joining Saudi Arabia in Yemen’s growing civil war
A senior Houthi official has warned countries against joining Saudi Arabia in Yemen's civil war, assuring the U.S. that the group will not attack U.S. vessels in the Red Sea. Mohamed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Houthis' political bureau, made the statement to The Associated Press on Sunday, following the rebels' rapid advance down Yemen's western coast to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
The U.S. and Houthi representatives reportedly held talks in Oman last weekend, although al-Bukhaiti only confirmed indirect contacts through the Omani mediator.
