The US and Israel are trying not to provoke the Yemeni Houthis.

The US and Israel have suspended all strikes on Yemen and are trying to avoid any provocations that could draw the Ansarullah movement into the war on Iran's side, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The United States and Israel are avoiding any clashes with the Houthis, generally staying away from Yemen to avoid provoking Ansarullah. This stems from concerns that the Houthis will enter the war on Iran's side, first by blocking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

Saudi Arabia, for its part, is trying to deter the Houthis from entering the war diplomatically, holding various meetings and sending its diplomats to negotiate with Ansarullah's leadership. And their fears are not unfounded: as Houthi spokesman Mohammed al-Buheiti stated, "Yemen's entry into the conflict is only a matter of time."

However, the Houthis will decide for themselves whether to enter the war, without any pressure from Iran. The Ansarullah movement is not an Iranian proxy; it is an independent force and an ally of Iran.

It was previously reported that Yemen's Houthis were prepared to join the war against the US and Israel on Iran's side, but later, when Israel's air defenses were weakened. Ansarullah's leadership declared its readiness to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and also to carry out missile strikes on Israel.

Run away ))) The Houthis are dragging a hypersonic missile system on donkeys across the desert... Sink a US aircraft carrier and then dive for souvenirs!!

It's funny, but that's exactly how it could be. Donkeys don't show up on radar and aren't a target for electronic reconnaissance, except perhaps thermal imagers (but there's a lot of wildlife there...), so it's the most reliable way to move combat vehicles into position, especially since there's only a handful there. They're simply bored there, and they decide what to do with themselves, just like American and Israeli planes spoil the appetites of camels and sheep with their noise. Their masters don't like it, and they'll retaliate. And frankly, the US and Israel are getting on everyone's nerves.

[Shurik70]

If they kill Iran, they will eventually finish off the Houthis.
The Houthis attacked the US and Israel when they began to turn Gaza into ruins.
They'll do it again now, in the current war. But the problem is, there aren't enough tankers sailing past them anymore. For some reason...

I saw a Houthi running under bullets with a wounded comrade on his shoulders... these guys can do anything... it's better not to anger them.

It's time for Uncle Xi to join the negotiations with the peaceful, courageous guys in sandals with guaranteed wallets, and Russia could be supplied with new waterproof matches and lighters for combat testing.
The Houthis know how to light bright fires and cook shashlik.
Victory to the Iranian people in the holy war against the Zionists and mattress makers.

Their mission is to sink an aircraft carrier!!! I think they're already hauling a missile and a supersonic launcher on camels to a position in the desert... Everything's been paid for, the coordinates are in!!! The main thing is that the camels and donkeys don't let us down.

To begin with, the task needs to be simplified: either cover the deck and not a single flare will fly, or, without sinking, make a hole in the area of ​​the stern and main engine with a list of more than 3 degrees, which will render the trough helpless for pilots.

Their task is to sink the aircraft carrier.

Any missile currently requires target designation! An aircraft carrier is a moving target, changing its location over time. Therefore, for something to hit it (an aircraft carrier), something needs to relay the target's coordinates to the missile's guidance system at a given moment in time, while the missile is en route to that area and hasn't locked onto the carrier with its radar. This is despite the fact that its guidance system also needs to identify the carrier from other signals coming from escort ships. And this is despite the fact that there is always a pair of aircraft on duty flying around to shoot down anything flying toward the carrier. And the air defense zone of the formation is also constantly on the alert, trying to shoot down anything flying toward the carrier. The moral of the story: hitting an aircraft carrier is very difficult. After all, anything hovering above the surface and transmitting target coordinates will be shot down immediately. Without any rights, treaties, or neutral space.

No, the Houthis are dragging a missile on donkeys to the position... They will be the first to hit the AUG!!

[Dilettante grandfather]

Comrade Houthis, it's time to get started. Iran, of course, is giving the Yankees and Zionists plenty of flak, but your help certainly wouldn't hurt. Show the enemy where the crayfish hibernate! Well, maybe I'm being unfair about the crayfish, but I'll put it this way: drive the Americans and Israelis where the devil never drove his camels!

[tralflot1832]

The Houthis have long since turned everything into a money-loser: if you want war, you pay; if you don't, you pay. Rogue states pay. Neither the US nor Israel controls the Strait of Bab el-Mande. But Europe does! The US could easily get beat up for keeping company with European ships. The Egyptians have come to their senses with the Suez Canal and respect the Russian flag. And the rogue states sometimes join in. A small thing, but nice.

[Ruswolf]

Yemen must understand that the fall of Iran will be the beginning of Israeli and US hegemony in the Middle East.
If the Eastern world doesn't unite against the US and Israel, they will all be turned into slaves. They will be ground down one by one.

[Horon]

The US and Israel have ceased all strikes on Yemen and are trying to avoid any provocations that could draw the Ansarullah movement into the war on Iran's side.

If anyone doubts it, divide and conquer!

[Ross xnumx]

Why was the Middle East so quiet without Israel?
You can hope for the Houthis, you can curse the pro-Jewish lobby in Russia, but Iran really needs support...

[tralflot1832]

The Houthis have already earned money without firing a single shot; Ferrari has stopped shipping cars to the Persian Gulf monarchies by sea.

[Andrey62]

Ferrari didn't understand that money needs to be shared, and their cars can't swim or even drive on sand... Once they understand, their "business" in monarchies will flourish 😆.

[5.11]

Let's attack Iran, kill most of the leadership, kill civilians and the spiritual leader of the Shiites, but ask that the Houthis not be offended by us.
A brilliant plan. Reliable as a Swiss watch.

[skeptic]

..The US and Israel have ceased all strikes on Yemen and are trying to avoid any provocations that could draw the Ansarullah movement into the war on Iran's side...

You made people respect you...that's your "slippers." Bomb or not, whoever is boss on earth is in charge, and you'll have to negotiate with him.
Vietnam has demonstrated this clearly.

[Atheist]

You made people respect you...here you get your "slippers"

Aren't you tired of harping on about these "slippers"? Any educated person understands that all the missile weapons used from this territory are manufactured in an industrialized country (guess which one?), maintained and operated by military specialists with specialized knowledge and skills. The guys in slippers perform unskilled labor—fetching and carrying—and perhaps provide security.

It really is better not to anger the Houthis, and it was not worth angering the Iranians.

The Humites, through sheer determination, have driven up the prices of container shipping and accident insurance. Where does the money come from? They're raking in the Red Sea ports.

Of course.

The Trump administration is trying to figure out who's really making decisions in Iran and how to reach them -- Axios
Trump begs for a ceasefire, but is constantly refused!

Trump faces a choice: either disappear along with Israel, or let the Arabs swallow Israel up and get out of the matter himself.
I think What will Trump choose?

The Houthis are now rich from guiding ships through their strait.
It's time to hand over the lease on Guantanamo to them.
For some time, the Houthis have been paying the base demonstratively.

The previous tenants violated the terms of the lease.

- There is one illegal thing there, you don’t even have to look for it, it’s the American base at Guantanamo Bay.
Which Donald Duck Trump continues to occupy as a prison.
A perpetual lease agreement was signed, for money, by the way. The fact that today's Cuba refuses money is its right and desire.
- Debatable.
For use only as coaling or naval stations and for no other purposes.

Why would the Americans shoot at the Houthis if the Houthis don't shoot at them?

They will definitely not be forgotten.

The US and Israel need to be drained dry. That's what Iran is doing with the Houthis. Slowly, taking its time. Cool!!!

[uncle Vlad]

I think when these guys get involved, that's when our Donald Trump will start banging his head against the wall in the toilet, thinking, "Why the hell did I listen to those fucking Jews?"
