Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday that they would ban ships linked to Israel from the Red Sea after Israel renewed its military attacks on Iran, adding to concerns about global shipping and energy flows.

Just another reason to keep the Straits of Hormuz closed permanently
Its foolish for any country to base one’s energy-security on peace between IRGC Iran on one side, and Wahabbists on the other, separated only by a 20 mile wide waterway.
Desperate times here on FRAntifa if we’re placing our bets on the Huothis. 😂
Just kill them with extreme prejudice. They are really Iran.
Destroy their electrics, destroy all industry, destroy anything of strategic value. Just f ing kill them.
In Vietnam we let the enemy determine the rules of war. We won the war but lost. Do not make this mistake again.
A pipeline is currently under construction across UAE to bypass Hormuz.
If they do, the combined US and Arab air power will reduce Yemen to the Stone Age in record time. People are sick of their crap. We have already destroyed most of the assets in Yemen worth destroying so going full Stone Age is just a step away . And nobody gives a damn about rebuilding post war Yemen.
Is it missile/drone proof?
If the military would take out all the Houdis, we could probably get a lot of that 2.5 billion dollars that Timmy Tampon Kabuki gave to his knuckle dragging Somalis butt buddies.
This was not a comprehensive peace deal ending the broader Yemeni civil war or the Red Sea crisis entirely. It was a limited de-escalation focused on stopping direct US-Houthi hostilities, particularly attacks on U.S. vessels and U.S. strikes on Houthi targets.
Key Terms of the Deal:
U.S. commitments: Halt airstrikes and offensive operations against the Houthis in Yemen (ending the intensified campaign that began around March 2025, sometimes referred to as aspects of Operation Rough Rider or related to Operation Prosperity Guardian).
Houthi commitments: Stop targeting U.S. ships/vessels and American interests in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait. They agreed not to attack U.S. forces or commercial shipping linked to the U.S.
Scope limitations: The deal explicitly did not require the Houthis to stop attacks on Israel or Israeli-linked targets/shipping. Houthis publicly emphasized this and framed the agreement as not applying "in any way, shape, or form" to Israel.
Im not sure if there are drones capable of disanling an oil pipeline. They are pretty heavy duty, I imagine.
That’s what I keep saying about Hezbollah. We keep being told Israel is the size of New Jersey. That makes Lebanon the size of Philadelphia and the four surrounding counties. That’s all the area we’re talking about. Just take the gloves off and annihilate them.
Light those m************ up!
Bkmk
Taco Trump will do nothing.
Some of the first armed drones were merely strapping a large artillery or tank shell to a quadcopter and ramming something. You also aim for the weak links like power transmission and pumping stations, you don’t have to hunt buried pipes. That’s how the Ukrainians took a Russia pipeline out of service.
Are you a Dimocrat too?
There’s plenty of oil in the rest of the world.
We should not be letting Iran hold the world hostage.
It’s amazing you were conceived. As your Momz was know a Buddha.🤡🤣
You sound concerned. 😄😂
“Desperate times here on FRAntifa if we’re placing our bets on the Huothis. 😂”
So why would it be different than last time when the USA decided there was not military solution and negotiated an end with the Houthis?
