Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the enigmatic and elusive commander of the Iran-aligned Houthi militant group in Yemen, has been elevated amid the organization's ongoing Red Sea offensive. According to foreign officials dealing with the group, al-Houthi has not been known to meet in person with outsiders since the beginning of the civil war.
Commanding a battle-hardened force, al-Houthi recently secured a significant military victory as his forces swept through Yemen’s Red Sea coastline. This advance has tightened the group's grip on a vital shipping waterway and rattled oil markets, marking his biggest military achievement in years.
