His murder is a major blow to moderate forces on both sides of the conflict in Yemen, diminishing any prospect for imminent resolution and likely leading to further violence—to the detriment of the Yemeni people. Iran’s unchecked ambition and aggression in the region have led to unprecedented violence and a major humanitarian crisis in Yemen. I hope that Saleh’s supporters and allies will continue his recent efforts to confront the Houthis and seek a peaceful end to this deadly conflict.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
