The political scientist predicted a new escalation of the conflict in Yemen and allowed the involvement of the United States.

Israeli strikes on Yemen's capital Sanaa could provoke a further escalation of the conflict and involve the United States and its allies. This was stated on August 25 by political analyst Dmitry Brije to Izvestia.

In his opinion, the conflict already goes beyond the Palestinian territory and affects a wider area of the region.

"This may escalate events, intensifying attacks on Israel and simultaneously attacking sea routes, drawing the United States and its allies into the conflict, which will be forced to actively protect trade routes. The expansion of regional confrontation, and Iran, as a key ally, is strengthening diplomatic and technical support, which will make the confrontation even more protracted," the source said.

Bridge also stressed that Israel's actions are not only directed against the Houthis, but also serve as a strategic signal for the entire axis of resistance. However, they will not remain unanswered. Every Israeli strike is perceived by the Houthis as a confirmation of their ideological mission.

"Most likely, the Houthis' immediate response will be to launch new missiles and drones at Israel, including strikes on key cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa. The Red Sea will become an even more sensitive destination. Attacks on international shipping, once again, can increase enormous pressure on world trade and increase energy prices," the expert said.

In addition, the political scientist noted that attacks on areas associated with the political and military leadership of the Houthis may be an attempt by Israel to "decapitate" this movement.

In response, the movement's leaders demand the release of the Palestinian hostages and the withdrawal of the Israeli military.

On August 24, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) repeatedly launched air strikes on Sanaa. As noted by eyewitnesses, there were about seven explosions near the city. A power plant and an oil refining facility were hit. As a result of this attack, four people were killed.
