Iraqi security sources in Anbar province, west of the country, said on Sunday that four main headquarters belonging to armed groups loyal to Iran on the Syrian border were evacuated over the past two days towards the Iraqi interior.

The American National Review magazine said, "The next President, Donald Trump, must make clear that if our country is exposed to weapons from Iran, the United States will strike hard - and directly - against Iran."

Military expert Major General Mohammed Al-Samadi expected the United States, Britain and Israel to launch an intensive air campaign on Yemen, and said that these countries are determined to implement several scenarios against the Houthis.

Saudi authorities announced on Wednesday the execution of 6 Iranians convicted of smuggling hashish, while Iran summoned the Kingdom's ambassador to express its protest.

The Washington Post quoted an American official as saying that confronting the Houthis in Yemen may require additional military and diplomatic action by countries inside and outside the Middle East.

The American magazine Foreign Policy expected that the Yemen file would be at the top of what it described as the upcoming "aftershocks" in the Middle East, at a time when the Trump administration will find it extremely difficult to withdraw from a region that is still being reshaped by the effects of October 7.
