On the Red Sea coast of Yemen, the ancient port of Mocha became once again a site of human suffering when Houthi forces launched six ballistic missiles that killed at least four civilians and set fishing boats ablaze. The strike is not an isolated act but a thread in a longer weaving of regional conflict — one that connects Yemen's decade-long civil war to the broader contest between Iran and its adversaries. As a fragile U.N.-brokered truce continues to fray, the people of Yemen find themselves caught between forces whose ambitions extend far beyond their shores.
