伊朗支持的胡塞恐怖组织尚未以伊朗盟友身份直接参与冲突，但近几日已加强支持德黑兰的言论，其领导人阿卜杜勒-马利克·胡塞宣称，必要时已准备好加入对抗美国和以色列的战争。
“关于军事升级和行动，我们的手指已扣动扳机，随时准备根据事态发展做出回应。”胡塞在周四表示。
“胡塞武装尚未介入的原因是，他们是抵抗轴心的最后防线。特别是在其他轴心成员实力受损后，”也门问题专家、中东研究所副研究员纳德拉·阿尔-道萨里向福克斯新闻数字版表示。

胡塞运动（安萨尔真主党）的官方口号是：”真主至大。死亡到美国。死亡到以色列。诅咒犹太人。伊斯兰胜利。”
阿尔-道萨里长期研究也门和胡塞武装，她表示：”我认为胡塞武装迟早会介入。战争持续越久，他们介入的可能性就越大。我认为胡塞武装一直渴望做的事——并且已经策划了一段时间——就是攻击沙特。如果沙特介入，胡塞武装会找到攻击沙特的理由。”
伊朗组建”抵抗轴心”
2023年10月7日哈马斯入侵以色列之前，伊朗伊斯兰共和国就组建了”抵抗轴心”。伊朗的轴心由什叶派和逊尼派恐怖代理组成，包括黎巴嫩真主党、加沙地带的哈马斯和巴勒斯坦伊斯兰圣战组织、胡塞武装、伊拉克什叶派民兵以及现已解散的叙利亚复兴党政权。
拜登政府任内初期，乔·拜登总统重启了与胡塞武装的对话，并施压沙特结束对好战的胡塞武装的战争。”也门的战争必须结束，”拜登在2021年2月首次发表中东外交政策演讲时宣称。
拜登政府逆转了美国对沙特领导的盟友对抗胡塞武装的支持，并将胡塞武装从外国恐怖组织名单中除名。唐纳德·特朗普总统在其第二个任期开始时迅速重新将胡塞武装列为恐怖组织，并对也门的恐怖分子发动军事打击。
阿尔-道萨里表示，胡塞武装尚未参战的另一个原因是，这不符合伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）”将胡塞武装拖入自杀式战争”的利益。她认为：”如果伊朗政权垮台，出现新政权，我认为IRGC会在也门或索马里重新集结。也门是关键盟友。”
有讨论称，IRGC与胡塞武装就”胡塞武装的持续存在对IRGC具有战略重要性”进行了沟通。
“IRGC不能失去胡塞武装。也门对他们至关重要。他们需要为明天保留胡塞武装，以便即使政权更迭后IRGC仍能继续存在，”阿尔-道萨里继续说道。
胡塞武装在非洲之角站稳脚跟，IRGC是胡塞武装的幕后推手。”干预可能只是胡塞武装象征性的行动，”她补充道。伊朗目前的策略是”延长战争并在该地区扩大冲突，向美国施加更大压力。”
2025年5月，特朗普宣布美国将停止对胡塞武装的空袭，称”胡塞武装不想打仗”。
“他们确实不想打，我们会尊重这一点。我们将停止轰炸，”特朗普表示。胡塞武装此前曾袭击红海商业船只和以色列，以支持加沙的盟友哈马斯。
道萨里称，特朗普宣布后，胡塞武装未攻击美国船只。”他们知道特朗普不是在开玩笑，会承担后果。”

Iran’s last line of resistance holds back — but Houthi terror group warns it’s ready to act
Yemen expert says ‘the longer the war continues, the more likely the Houthis will intervene’

The Iran-backed Houthi terrorist movement has yet to enter the conflict on Iran’s side but in recent days has been ratcheting up its rhetoric in support of Tehran, with its leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, declaring that it was prepared to enter the war against the U.S. and Israel if necessary.
“Regarding military escalation and action, our fingers are on the trigger, ready to respond at any moment should developments warrant it,” al-Houthi said on Thursday.
“The reason why the Houthis have not intervened is they are last line of resistance for the axis. Especially after other axis members were degraded,” Nadwa Al-Dawsari, an expert on Yemen and an associate fellow at the Middle East Institute, told Fox News Digital.

The official slogan of the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) reads, “Allah is Greater. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse on the Jews. Victory to Islam.”
Al-Dawsari, who has written extensively about Yemen and the Houthis, said: “I think the Houthis will intervene at some point. The longer the war continues, the more likely the Houthis will intervene. I think what the Houthis want to do — and they have been itching for a while to do — is to attack the Saudis. If the Saudis intervene, the Houthis will find a reason to attack the Saudis.”

The Islamic Republic of Iran formed an “Axis of Resistance” prior to Hamas’ invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Iran’s axis coalition of Shiite and Sunni terrorist proxies, includes the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis, Shiite militias in Iraq, and the now-defunct Baathist regime in Syria.
Within the first few weeks of his administration, President Joe Biden launched a reset with the Houthis and pressured the Saudis to end the war against the bellicose Houthi movement. “The war in Yemen must end,” Biden declared in his first major foreign policy speech about the Mideast in February 2021.

Biden’s reversal of American support for the Saudi-led allies in their war against the Houthis was also coupled with his administration de-listing the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization. President Donald Trump swiftly reimposed the terrorist designation for the Houthis at the start of his second term and launched military strikes against the terrorists in Yemen.
Al-Dawsari said another reason why the Houthis have yet to join the conflict is that it’s not in the interests of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) “to drag the Houthis into a suicidal war.” She argues “If the Iranian regime collapses, and if a new regime emerges, I think the IRGC will regroup in Yemen or Somalia. Yemen is the key ally.”

There has been discussion between the IRGC and Houthis about why the “Houthis’ continued existence is of strategic importance to the IRGC,” she said.
“The IRGC can’t afford to lose the Houthis. Yemen is so important to them. They need to preserve the Houthis for tomorrow for the IRGC to continue even after the regime,” Al-Dawsari continued.

She noted that “Houthis have established themselves in the Horn of Africa. The IRGC is behind the Houthis. Intervention might be symbolic by the Houthis.” She continued that Iran’s “tactic now is to prolong the war and widen it across the region and to put more pressure on the U.S.”
In May 2025, Trump announced that the U.S. would stop its air bombing campaign against the Houthis because, he said, the Houthis “don’t want to fight.”
“They just don’t want to, and we will honor that. We will stop the bombings,” Trump said. The Houthis had launched attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea, as well as the Jewish state, to support their ally Hamas in Gaza.

Al-Dawsari said after the Trump announcement the Houthis did not attack American ships. “They know Trump does not joke. They know they will suffer consequences.”
