After Al-Assad’s Fall… Syria Closes Its Doors to the Houthis

The illegitimate Yemeni embassy previously run by Houthi terrorist militias in Syria has shut its doors, and all its personnel, including armed groups trained in Syrian regime camps in Damascus, have departed following the escape of the Syrian president and the collapse of his regime.

According to sources cited by Al-Mashhad Al-Arabi, the Houthi embassy had continued to operate despite Syria’s announcement a year ago of its closure due to a scandal involving an impersonator posing as Yemen’s ambassador in Damascus. This announcement was merely a theatrical act to spare the Syrian foreign ministry the embarrassment of hosting an embassy for terrorist groups.

The sources revealed that the Houthis were operating within the axis of evil, coordinating terrorist acts to destabilize the region, under the directives of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

The regime change in Syria is expected to cut off the Houthis’ access to the country. This paves the way for a new chapter in relations between Syria and Yemen’s legitimate government, especially after the Presidential Leadership Council congratulated the fall of Al-Assad’s regime.

The Yemeni news site Al-Masdar Online reported that the Houthi military leader responsible for operations in Syria, along with members of the Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces, withdrew to Iraq last Saturday following the collapse of the Syrian regime’s forces and its allies, as well as the opposition’s takeover of Damascus, leading to Bashar Al-Assad’s flight.

Exclusive sources revealed that prominent Houthi leader Abdul Malik Al-Murtadha, known as “Abu Talib Sufyan,” had been traveling between Syria and Iraq for several months as the Houthis’ representative in the central operations room supervised by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

The rapid developments in Syria, marked by the fall of Al-Assad’s regime, Iran’s ally, and his escape to Russia, have raised questions about the implications for the Houthis’ position and future in Yemen.

These swift changes in Syria, which led to the end of Al-Assad’s regime, have reignited hopes in Yemen for a similar scenario that could bring an end to the Iranian-backed Houthi coup at a minimal cost, especially following Iran’s setbacks in Lebanon and the loss of its dominance over Damascus.
