Is Yemen Quietly Pulling the Middle East Toward Another War?

Yemen has been at war for more than a decade, but recent developments suggest the conflict may be entering a new and more dangerous phase.

In this video, we examine rising tensions in Yemen following a Saudi ultimatum issued on December 30, 2025, ordering UAE backed forces linked to the Southern Transitional Council to withdraw from key ports and infrastructure in the south. The demand came days after Saudi airstrikes targeted areas under separatist control, turning long standing private disagreements into an open dispute.
For years, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates operated as partners in Yemen. But officials now appear divided over strategy, influence, and control, raising concerns among analysts that rivalry between former allies could destabilize southern Yemen and ignite a new internal conflict.

With peace talks involving Houthi rebels still ongoing, the timing of this confrontation has alarmed regional observers, who warn that Yemen could once again become the stage for broader Middle East power struggles.
Is this a temporary dispute between allies, or the early formation of another regional war? Share your perspective in the comments.
