If Iran has taken controll of hormuz and bab el mandab its over for europe 🇪🇺 and america 🇺🇸 😂
Remember, the country that wanted this war, "Israel", is silently watching from afar. Remember, there was a Deal with Iran until Trump pulled out in 2018. Remember, there was a truce between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia until Saudi Arabia and Yemen government bombed an airport during the landing of Houthi delegates coming back from the Ayatollah's funeral. Remember there was a MOU which was not cute but better than all this and the US tried to cheat it by creating a new passage near Oman cost going against the 5th Point on the MOU. Remember all of that
The US has failed to protect its colonies in the middle east. This is shameful.
How come there are no experts based in Yemen? Experts at Chatham House or in DC or some Western university has absolutely no clue what is happening in another country without being actually embedded in that country. Their opinions are often based on information filtered through specific sources and is often circular in nature. Find some experts in Yemen and Iran and Saudi. Stop relying on folks thousands of miles away from the story.
Good
If Saudi Arabia wants trumps help they need to name the strait after trump, he doesn't wanna touch bob menendez
Time to switch to PLUG Powers Green Hydrogen?
This mornings news reports that Iran and the Houthies are now in control of 40% of the worlds oil supply. That's a lot of oil baby. FDT
You are still using that deceptive map at 0:05, 0:45. Why?
Well DONE, Houtis !
The world stands in solidarity with you and your efforts against the Saudi terrorlsts!
The world hasn't forgotten there WAS a truce in effect when the Saudis sent missiIes into the Sanaa airport in a failed attempt to assassinate Yemen's leaders a couple months back after they returned from paying respects to Iran's assassinated leaders.
The Saudi's opened this particular can of worms, and now they must suffer the consequences thereof.
Not to mention, the Saudi's have had a blockade of their own in effect against the people of Yemen for YEARS.
Now the tables have turned, eh ?
As Ye sow, so shall Ye reap !
I think even the Bab is less important news than the strike on the Yambu pipeline.
That was carrying 1/3 of the oil still comig out of the Gulf.
Cause of war ? Then must help the countries affected
The Houthis appear intent on turning the Mecca Pact into a mockery and making its signatories look ineffective.
I blame trump for this.
Yemen and its people are brothers and cousins of the Saudi people. Why are the media report such headlines? And why should Saudi Arabia save the world from the Houthis?
This is good this puts pressure on trump and he cant put a blockade on it because those ships will have to go really near to the strait to block it within houthi range.
No one mentions China ?
Control the oil control the world
Well, Saudi were the ones who violated the ceasefire that has been there in place since 2022 by striking a Yemeni airport where an Iranian aircraft was supposed to land at.
Classic FAFO.
except Saudi…….what about the filthy juice nation?
How come the fate of mankind is in the hand of few crazy leaders and greedy rich peoples? Not more than 100 peoples controlling our universe
All power to the Righteous!
