也门前总理毛因·阿卜杜勒·马利克·赛义德发出警告，西方安全的未来与也门西南部城市塔伊兹的控制权密切相关1。该城目前成为伊朗支持的胡塞武装与也门政府军的新前线，塔伊兹拥有超过50万人口1。赛义德曾任职总理至2024年，他强调若该战略城市失守将导致灾难性后果，并呼吁西方提供更多军事支持1。
胡塞武装去年9月发动军事行动夺取也门红海沿岸，打破2022年停火以来相对平静，威胁控制战略性的曼德海峡和通往亚丁的道路1。赛义德披露，胡塞武装在伊朗支持下十年来军事能力大幅提升，已具备制导导弹、陆海导弹和无人机，构成新型威胁1。他指出，2017年时"胡塞武装只有盲目导弹无法击中目标"，但到2025年3月时，"很明显胡塞武装已拥有数十枚制导导弹、陆海导弹和无人机"1。这一武装能力的升级由过往攻击事件可见：2020年12月胡塞武装对亚丁机场发动导弹攻击造成28人死亡、107人受伤，导弹航程达186英里（299公里）1；2022年1月对阿联酋油轮发动导弹攻击的距离超过900英里1。
赛义德呼吁西方认识到胡塞武装控制也门的威胁，称这标志着"新型激进恐怖主义时代"的来临——半国家行为体和民兵组织利用廉价技术威胁强大国家1。
Yemen's former Prime Minister Mouin Abdulmalek Said has warned that the future of Western security depends on control of Taiz, a strategically vital southwestern city now emerging as a new battlefront between Iran-backed Houthi forces and the Yemeni government.1 The city, home to over 500,000 people, has become increasingly contested as the conflict intensifies in a region critical to global security.1 Said, who served as Prime Minister from 2018 to 2024, stressed that the loss of Taiz would have catastrophic consequences and called for increased Western military support to prevent such an outcome.1
The Houthi military escalation has transformed the regional threat landscape. Last September, the Iranian-backed militants launched operations along Yemen's Red Sea coast, breaking a period of relative calm that had held since a 2022 ceasefire.1 Said highlighted the dramatic evolution of Houthi capabilities over the past decade, noting that in 2017, the group possessed only crude missiles incapable of hitting targets. By March 2025, when the United States conducted strikes in Yemen, the Houthis had clearly acquired dozens of guided missiles, anti-ship weapons, and drones.1 The group's arsenal has demonstrated unprecedented reach: in December 2020, a Houthi missile attack on Aden airport killed 28 people and wounded 107, including Said himself, with a missile that traveled 186 miles (299 kilometers); in January 2022, the militants struck an Emirati oil tanker with a missile fired from over 900 miles away.1
Said characterized the current threat as emblematic of a "new era of radical terrorism" defined by semi-state actors and militia groups leveraging inexpensive technology to menace powerful nations.1 He urged the West to recognize the danger posed by potential Houthi control of Yemen, emphasizing that the strategic Mandeb Strait and access routes to Aden remain at risk.1
