Afrah Al-Zouba, the Foreign Minister of Yemen's resigned government, held a phone call this morning at 10 AM local time with Neil Happ, the U.S. chargé d'affaires in Aden. This conversation was aimed at reviewing recent developments in Yemen and their impact on regional security.
Developments on Yemen's Western Coasts and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait
In this call, both parties discussed the situation on Yemen's western coasts and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, which are among the sensitive and strategic points in international shipping. Given the escalation of tensions in these areas, Al-Zouba and Happ emphasized the need for cooperation to strengthen security and stability in Yemen.

The Foreign Minister of Yemen's resigned government referred to the escalation of tensions by the Houthis and emphasized the importance of international support for his government. In response, the U.S. chargé d'affaires condemned the Houthi attacks without referencing his country's role in these tensions, calling them a threat to Yemen's security and international shipping.
Consequences of Recent Tensions for Regional Security
The conversation between Al-Zouba and Happ took place as Yemen's security situation has severely deteriorated due to ongoing conflicts and Houthi attacks. These conflicts have not only caused extensive human and financial losses in Yemen but have also jeopardized maritime security in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
The Foreign Ministry of Yemen's resigned government, in a statement following this call, did not provide further details but emphasized that Washington's support for this government and ongoing cooperation between the two sides to address security threats was one of the main topics of discussion.
U.S. political and military support for Yemen's resigned government as a key player in the Middle East continues, and this phone call reflects Washington's determination to maintain this support in the current crisis. However, there are criticisms from international observers regarding the impact of this support on the humanitarian situation in Yemen.
Given the recent developments and escalation of conflicts, it seems that discussions between the parties will continue and may lead to new agreements. In this context, the international community must also focus on effective and real actions to resolve the Yemen crisis.
