Taher al-Aqili

Taher al-Aqili is the Minister of Defense for Yemen's internationally recognized government. He has been at the forefront of military operations against the Houthi movement, coordinating efforts to reclaim territory and stabilize government control. His recent statements indicate a strategic shift, as the Yemeni government sees an opportunity to advance against the Houthis in light of Iran's weakened influence following the assassination of Ali Khamenei.
