Shia Islamist organization in Yemen
The Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah or Ansarullah, are a Zaydi revivalist and Shia Islamist political and paramilitary organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s.

The Houthis are backed by Iran, and they are widely considered part of the Iranian-led Axis of Resistance.
