Iran has officially pulled its military forces out of Yemen, abandoning its long-supported proxy group, the Houthis, as the U.S. bombing campaign intensifies. The Telegraph reported on April 3 that Iranian troops, including elite Revolutionary Guard units, have been ordered to withdraw amidst relentless U.S. airstrikes that began on March 15. At least 67 Houthis have been killed, including key figures like Hezam al- Asad.

With the withdrawal, Iran signals weakness across the entire Middle East. Its previous support for groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Assad regime has dwindled, and now the Houthis are left to collapse alone. The U.S. has deployed bombers, fighter wings, and multiple aircraft carriers to the region, with the USS Carl Vinson set to double American airpower in the Red Sea. As Iran scrambles and its proxy network crumbles, the future of the region hangs in the balance.

Iran has been in the sights of the U.S. since 1955 when Mossadegh, the lawfully elected Prime Minister was overthrown, and Shah Reza Pahlavi was installed.
