The Critical Threats Project releases a weekly update and assessment on Iran and the al Qaeda network.

Key Takeaways:

  • Al Houthis fired mortars into Najran, Saudi Arabia, leading Saudi Arabia to respond with an escalation in airstrikes on al Houthi territory in Sa'ada. 
  • U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited Somalia on May 5, becoming the first sitting Secretary of State to do so.
  • Supreme Leader Khamenei stated that Iran will not negotiate under the “sword” and warned the U.S. that military action against Iran will not go unpunished.
