  "account": "Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the enigmatic leader of the Houthi movement, has been generating global disruptions despite being out of public sight for years. From his hideout, likely in Yemen's Sa'dah province, he has launched attacks on Saudi Arabia, impacting oil markets and advancing Iran's strategy to pressure global energy prices. The Houthi movement, which al-Houthi leads, has been at war with Saudi Arabia since he decided to break the 2022 truce and launch attacks on Saudi oil tankers and facilities. This has contributed to rising oil prices and reinforced al-Houthi's position as a powerful leader in Iran's \"axis of resistance\".",
  "summary": "This enigmatic leader has long been a headache for Riyadh, but he is now causing disruptions that have global repercussions.",
