Terrorism Monitor Terrorism Monitor . -- Vol. XIII Issue 13 (June 2015) p. 4-5Summary: A central element in the ongoing crisis in Yemen is the perception among Sunni-led states that Iran is playing a central role in supporting the Houthi Shi’a rebel movement militarily and politically, and fear of growing Iranian influence in Yemen has been a key factor behind the ongoing Saudi-led military airstrikes in the country (Entekhab [Qom], April 9). Less well-known, however, is the evolution of Iranian public attitudes and statements to the country, and particularly towards the Houthis, who hail from the minority Zaydi branch of Shi’a Islam, which differs substantially from the “Twelver” form of Imami Shiism observed by Iran’s rulers. This article aims to illustrate some key developments in Iranian attitudes toward Yemen in recent years.
