There is a difference between Yemen and Houthis. These attacks are the Houthis not Yemen.

You think that… obv

There has been a civil war in Yemen since 2014, close to 400k deaths. A six month ceasefire part brokered by the UN has finished, but there is currently an informal one . The Houthis largely control the north. They are Yemenis, albeit of a different religious branch of Islam from the South.

They are Zaydi Shias (different to Iranian Twelver Shi’ism - though they have their backing) and are mostly governed by the Houthi tribal group.

It’s pretty widely accepted that Iran is supplying arms to the Houthis in Yemen. As they have to Hezbollah, Hamas and other Islamic militias around Israel. It is Iran’s primary geopolitical strategy, getting these groups to harass their enemies instead of engaging directly.

These strikes on Israeli shipping are almost certainly with the blessing or encouragement of the IRGC.

YE-MEN and the masters of the universe.

Well, MY religion is just fine, it’s everyone else with their fake religions causing all the problems. We probably should massacre them or something, then everything will be great.

(very very very j/k, just in case there was any doubt…)
