- Iran and Houthi terror proxy facing Red Sea threat from pro-US African nation
Iran views Somaliland's potential as a pro-Western, pro-Israel foothold near the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait as a strategic threat to its influence via the Houthi terror group. The U.S. and Israel's engagement with Somaliland could disrupt Iran's Red Sea shipping operations, prompting Houthi threats to escalate attacks. Experts suggest Somaliland's recognition by Israel and ties with the U.S. and UAE have intensified Iran's opposition.
