Iran Forms Joint Command with Houthis, Iraqi Militias to Threaten Gulf Partners

Regional authorities report that Iran has established a new joint command structure linking Houthi and Iraqi militia forces to coordinate attacks on US partners in the Gulf. This follows a July wave of drone strikes on Saudi oil facilities, attributed to Houthis but now revealed to involve Iraqi militia planning and execution. The development signals deeper Iranian integration of proxy forces, escalating threats to Gulf energy infrastructure and US allies.
