A line of discourse arguing that the self-described Republic of Yemen has declared war on Israel unprovoked certainly involves ramifications in terms of international law, the right to self-defense and other measures that should be left for law experts to scrutinize
Iran’s deliberate strategy
This discourse would also challenge Iran’s deliberate strategy of a non-state proxy war against Israel
The Islamic Republic of Iran carefully crafted a strategy that warned its loyalist militias to refrain from acting as recognized states on the international stage
This was done as a means to avoid scrutiny and accountability and as a way to make the aggression against Israel even more complicated as it does not face ‘organized’ nations in the Western sense of the word but rather fragments of countries embedded in the local population
deterrence on a different perception of reality
Countless analytical and interpretive articles have already described how deterrence against the Houthis must rely on a different perception of reality since this is a remote and poverty-stricken country that in any case, has only what to gain from firing missiles at Israeli civilians
Perhaps a mindset that steps outside the box, refuses to see the Houthis as an organization and begins to view them as a state as they themselves claim to be – could help pave the way for addressing the Houthi problem through the appropriate international channels
