Houthi leader hails US-Iran truce as ‘major victory’ for Tehran

Al Jazeera - The leader of Yemen’s Houthis, Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, has described the recently agreed ceasefire between the US and Iran as a “great victory” for Tehran and the so-called “axis of resistance”, a network of Iran-aligned groups across the Middle East.

“The announcement of the ceasefire in and of itself is a great victory for the Islamic Republic in Iran, for the countries of the axis of resistance, for the Islamic nation, and for the free people of the world,” the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV station quoted al-Houthi as saying.

In a video statement, al-Houthi added that the war had helped restore deterrence in Iran’s strategic posture.
