CEP Webinar: Houthi Procurement & Terror Finance – The Yemeni Arm of Iran’s
Proxy Forces


(New York, N.Y. / Berlin, Germany) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP)
invites you to a webinar on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, to present new,
in-depth CEP studies concerning Houthi military procurement and terror finance.



Only a decade ago, the Houthis were a relatively unknown Shia militia from the
Yemeni backwater of Saadah. Over time, they expanded their control over Yemen
and developed into a more militarily sophisticated organization with a
prominent role in the Iran-led axis of resistance. In recent months, the
Houthis have demonstrated both their capabilities and intentions by joining in
on Hamas’s attack on Israel; they have launched dozens of missiles and drones
at Israel (nearly 2,000 km away) and commandeered a cargo ship, which they
alleged was “Israeli,” as it traveled along the Horn of Africa.



The upcoming CEP webinar will examine two elements of the growing Houthi
threat: defense procurement and terror finance. It will also consider more
broadly how the Houthis’ “quantum leap” in a single decade are a cautionary
tale with respect to Tehran’s broader regional strategy for developing the Iran
Threat Network (ITN).



The webinar will be conducted in English via Zoom.
