Iraq Restricts Houthi Activities Amid Regional Security Concerns Iraqi authorities have reportedly imposed new restrictions on representatives of Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi terrorist movement operating inside the country. According to Middle East analyst Yoni Ben Menachem, Baghdad has prohibited Houthi representatives from holding meetings, conferences, and media activities. The representatives are also reportedly required to notify Iraqi authorities in advance of their movements within the country. The measures are reportedly intended to prevent Iraqi territory from being used as a base for activities targeting Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region. The move could signal an effort by Baghdad to limit the influence of Iran-backed groups and avoid further regional escalation. Join Israel online
