The outbreak of war between the Houthis and the Yemen government and Saudi Arabia was expected for years, since the days of Joe Biden. The Houthis were emboldened as they witnessed the woeful failure of Biden’s Red Sea naval coalition efforts, which did little or nothing to stymie the resilient and determined group. Now there […]
Houthis threaten ‘full escalation’ after Saudi Arabia launches Red Sea coalition
The Houthi are also now working alongside Iran to “charge ships to transit the Bab el-Mandeb in the Red Sea, threatening another waterway after Tehran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.” Last week, the Houthis struck two Saudi oil tankers, amid a warning from Marco Rubio that they “should have stayed out,” but the Houthis have a […]
Yemen: Houthis Crack Down on Christians
Dozens of Christians remain in jail in Yemen since Houthis arrested them in February 2026, in a campaign that religious freedom advocates describe as an unprecedented crackdown on Yemeni Christians.

Iran-backed Houthis strike 2 Saudi oil tankers, Rubio warns they ‘should have stayed out’

Yemen strikes Houthi-controlled Sana’a airport runway to prevent Iranian plane from landing
It’s about time the Yemeni government “ran out of patience.” In 2024, the Yemeni government warned of the Houthi threat to the “world’s digital infrastructure.” Imagine the possibility of “a fifth” of the world’s internet going down. The world economy could collapse. The Yemen government has not prioritized controlling the Houthis due to its own […]
Yemen’s Houthis threaten to close Bab al-Mandeb Strait, claim ‘no force will be able to open it’
It was only a matter of time. The Houthis should have been dealt with during the Biden administration when they were tying up Red Sea shipments and creating a nightmare for the world economy. But Biden was weak and a global laughing stock. Now, the Trump administration is left to deal with the fallout. Days […]
Saudi officials urge U.S. to end blockade of the Strait of Hormuz
Saudi Arabia’s urging the U.S. to end the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has nothing to do with any loyalty to the Islamic Republic of Iran. It has everything to do with an escalation in the war with Iran that the Saudis fear would lead to the targeting of the Bab al-Mandeb waterway. Saudi […]

At the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Command, Houthis Enter the War
The missile strike on Israel on Saturday morning by the Houthis, an Iranian-backed militia in Yemen, marked an escalation in the monthlong U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, bringing in a new actor who has now expanded the war beyond the Gulf to the Red Sea, and raises the possibility that the Houthis will again try to […]
Iran, Hizballah and other anti-US Islamic voices use Epstein scandal to smear US and Israel
There is indeed a “deep moral crisis” present within the “governing system of Western countries,” but it does not define the West. Individual perpetrators are responsible for corruption and abuse; none of these corrupt officials is acting in accord with sanctioned religious tenets. For example, “senior Houthi official Hazam al-Assad wrote on social media that […]
