Quotable

“The Houthis are a little reckless as far as taking risks that other groups in the resistance front haven’t been willing to take. But I think they know well enough not to go after Chinese ships, because that would complicate Iran’s relationship with China. [The Houthis] probably want a relationship with China.”
