Red Sea War Cry! Houthis’ Chilling Ultimatum: Crush Israel, Punish America, Unleash Chaos with Iran!
Yemen’s Houthis, Iran’s fierce allies, are shaking the Red Sea, targeting Israel-linked ships for Gaza’s cause. A fragile US ceasefire hangs by a thread as they warn of attacking American vessels if the US aids Israel’s strikes on Iran, begun June 13, 2025, escalating global tensions.
International News: For 20 months, Yemen’s Houthis have disrupted Red Sea shipping, attacking Israel-linked vessels in solidarity with Gaza. Their campaign, which sank two ships and killed four crew since October 2023, intensified after Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. Reuters reports the Houthis’ vow to target US warships if America joins Israel’s campaign, despite a May 2025 ceasefire with the US. Their leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, declared no mercy for Israel’s allies, per X posts.
Ceasefire on the Brink
A US-Houthi ceasefire, brokered in Oman, paused attacks on American ships in May 2025, as noted by Al Jazeera. Yet, the Houthis excluded Israel from this deal, launching missiles like the one near Tel Aviv on May 5, 2025. If the US supports Israel’s ongoing Iran offensive, the Houthis will resume targeting US vessels, warns Newsweek. This could spark a wider conflict, with the US Navy already patrolling the Red Sea.
Iran’s Strategic Support
Iran’s backing empowers the Houthis, supplying drones and missiles through the Revolutionary Guards, per Reuters. IRGC advisors in Yemen orchestrate attacks, strengthening the Houthis’ control over northwest Yemen. This aligns with Iran’s retaliation against Israel’s Isfahan strikes, reported by News18. The Houthis’ actions amplify Iran’s regional influence, challenging Western powers.
Global Trade in Peril
Houthi attacks have rerouted 15% of global trade around Africa, spiking oil prices and shipping costs, per the BBC. Their claim of targeting only Israel-linked ships often misfires, hitting neutral vessels. The Times of Israel notes their demand for a Gaza ceasefire to halt attacks, a condition unmet amid Israel’s blockade, risking further economic chaos.
A Ticking Time Bomb
As Israel seeks US backing against Iran, the Houthis’ threats loom large. X posts, including @RT_com , highlight fears of a broader war if the US intervenes. The Houthis’ resilience, despite US airstrikes killing 200 in Yemen, positions them as Iran’s proxy, potentially plunging the Red Sea into deeper conflict.
