Show Notes
The Houthis, a Zaidi Shia militant group from Yemen, rose to power in 2014, ousting the Western-backed president and seizing the capital Sanaa. Their control of the Red Sea shipping lane sparked a war with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions displaced. A UN truce in 2022 has been mostly maintained, but tensions remain high. Following Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, the Houthis disrupted global trade routes by targeting ships in the Red Sea. Despite US claims of Iranian arms and training, the Houthis deny these allegations and maintain shared political ties with Iran. Recently, they launched missiles at Israel in March 2025, vowing to continue retaliation until the aggression ceases, keeping the Red Sea wildcard in play.
