Alwaght-Foreign Policy Magazine regarding to Yemeni revolutionaries' victory has tried to make a relation between the development of Yemen and the sphere of Tehran's influence.
By referring to the formation of demonstrations in Yemen, the Foreign Policy author has written that "the takeover of Sana'a in mid-September by the Houthis has dire implications for Yemen's neighbors. In addition, the latest developments in Sana'a represent a huge victory for Iran. However, the Ansarullah' decision to tie their fate to Tehran's regional machinations risks tearing Yemen apart and throwing the country into chaos.
When the new round of protests began in Yemen, the Western media initially tried to boycott the news and attributed the millions of Yemeni protesters to just Shiites and described their peaceful protests as "riots militia". These media also tried to attribute the Yemeni developments to Iran. "
according to this report Bab Al Mandab is a key strait that passes through the Gulf of Aden, linking the Red Sea with the Indian Ocean. It serves as the world's main oil transit waterway, and main shipping lifeline through the Suez Canal. If Houthis secured Bab Al Mandab and the sea in Al Hudaydah governorate, another strategic waterway, they would control the traffic from the Suez Canal and the Persian Gulf, a sobering prospect for those worried about increased Iranian influence in the region.
