Houthis Plot to Open New Front in Iran War
16th July 2026
Houthi rebels are preparing to shut the Bab el-Mandeb strait on behalf of Iran.
The Yemeni group, Tehran’s most capable regional proxy, is laying the groundwork and quietly extending their reach to the Horn of Africa, according to sources in Yemen.
The Houthis will work with al-Shabab, the Somali militant group, to control both sides of the waterway in order to inflict more pain on the global economy and ramp up pressure on Donald Trump.
“There are a lot of indicators showing coordination between the Houthis and al-Shabab,” one source told The Telegraph.
The Saudis might have something to say about that … and the Egyptians, most of whose foreign exchange hard currency comes from what they make from the Suez Canal.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
