On Monday, the militia leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, admitted his absolute dependence on Iran, declaring his group's readiness to fight a regional war within the Iranian axis.

Al-Houthi said, in a speech on a television screen, coinciding with the anniversary of the Prophet's birthday, that his militias have become "part of the equation announced by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah."

He affirmed his group's readiness to fight a large-scale regional war within the Iranian axis, which he called "the axis of jihad and resistance."

The militia leader urged his followers to continue the war he has been waging against the Yemenis, for nearly 7 years, considering that war is a "legal duty and holy jihad."
