Even if the US-Iran ceasefire holds, the larger war will likely continue, Al Jazeera reports citing the leader of Yemen’s Houthi rebel group.

In a televised speech, Abdul Malik al-Houthi warns that escalation in the region is “possibly high” as the “fragile” ceasefire is nearing an end.

“There is no doubt that further rounds of fighting are coming as it is merely a truce within a continuous conflict with the enemy,” he adds.
