In reality, Iran does not separate the two wars but links them, just as it links them to its “party’s” war against Israel and, especially, against the Lebanese state. On the contrary, “Trump’s truce” allowed Iran to resume a war it began two decades ago through the Houthis: first, to seize power and overthrow the state in Yemen, and then to use its Yemeni proxy to threaten Saudi Arabia and all the Gulf countries. It is enough to recall the speeches of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the late leader of “Iran’s Party,” Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah, Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and other “Axis of Resistance” figures to remember the language of incitement, hatred, and openly aggressive intentions directed against Saudi Arabia and what it represents in the Arab and Islamic world, particularly the Gulf region, as well as the progress it has achieved in domestic development and its international and regional standing.
