Israel: Seeks to neutralize threats from Houthi elements and keep their military potential in check. On the other side Israel can attack further if the situation demands. Houthis: Support Palestinians a response to what they perceive as aggression by Israel in Gaza. They warned Israel to avoid further attacks on Palestine as there are already humanitarian crises in Gaza which can be dangerous for people living there. Iran: Will facilitate the Houthis as a means to multiply its influence over the region. Iran is supporting the Houthi as Iran is already against each other due to Israel’s attack on Iran to prevent them from having nuclear bombs. Besides this, the United States of America also supported Israel. United States of America: Could be dragged into this situation; might have an effect on discussions with Iran and regional stability. Once again according to analysts America can play its part to avoid escalation and to help both sides for peace prevail.

On July 7, 2025, Israel conducted aerial operations targeting specific facilities in Yemen linked to the Houthi group. The sites which got affected in the conflict are: Hodeidah Port: An important hub for humanitarian aid. Yemen used to deliver aid to Gaza multiple times through this port. Ras Isa Port: A crucial location for oil shipments. Already the world is facing crude oil deficiency as Iran shut down its oil exports to the world which was the point of concern for many big economies. Salif Port: Another significant port in the area. The port holds its significance as this port is used by many countries for trade. Ras Qantib Power Plant: A vital energy facility serving regions under Houthi control. The ports are a significant loss to Yemen as already the world is going through many conflicts and now many countries will change their trade routes due to the ongoing tension between Yemen and Israel. These actions were taken in response to missile launches from Houthi forces directed at Israel. The Israeli military indicated that the selected targets were determined based on intelligence regarding military infrastructure used by the Houthis for organizing operations and conducting aerial strikes.
Conclusion:
If the conflict continues it will be dangerous for leading economies and also for the world as ports are getting destroyed in the conflict. Beside this a meeting is expected between President of US Donald Trump with the president of Israel where the ongoing situation will be discussed between both sides.
