Yemen faces economic fallout from US-Iran conflict

Yemenis are expressing concerns about potential economic repercussions stemming from the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. While Iran-allied Houthi forces have not yet directly engaged in the conflict, there is apprehension that they could target shipping routes in the Red Sea. Such disruptions could severely impact Yemen's already fragile economy, which relies heavily on maritime trade and aid. The geopolitical situation poses a significant threat to regional stability and exacerbates the humanitarian crisis within the country.
