| 摘要 | On March 6, 2019, AEI’s Katherine Zimmerman testified before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Middle East, North Africa, and International Terrorism Hearing on “The Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen: Addressing Current Political and Humanitarian Challenges.” Below is her response to a question for the record submitted by Representative Steve Watkins.
From Representative Steve Watkins:
1. “My question is for Katherine Zimmerman, thank you for being here today, based on your research, what would you say is the true motive for Iran backing the Houthis, what are they gaining from this partnership? How can we and our allies best exert leverage to end or at least diminish support for the Houthis?”
Iran’s support for the al Houthi movement in Yemen is part of its effort to expand its regional influence through the cultivation of what the Iranians call the “Axis of Resistance.” The Axis of Resistance is an informal Iranian-led alliance of state and non-state actors generally opposed to Western and Israeli influence in the Middle East, including America’s Arab partners. Members include Iran, Syria, Lebanese Hezbollah, and some Iraqi Shia militias. Iranian officials now list the al Houthi movement among other partners, and al Houthi delegations have met regularly with others within the Axis of Resistance. Iran leverages this alliance to pursue its regional objectives, which include expelling the United States from the Middle East and establishing Iranian regional hegemony.
