The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen are ready for escalation and remain in “full coordination” with their regional allies, the group leader announced.
In a televised speech broadcast by the group’s Al-Masirah TV channel on June 4, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said that his group is prepared for “any round of escalation or any developments within the current situation.”
He further stressed that the group remains in “full coordination” with its allies in the “Axis of Resistance,” led by Iran, regarding developments in Lebanon and Palestine, as well as what he described as “unjust and aggressive” United States measures in the region.
Al-Houthi went on to warn regional parties against attempts by Washington to drag them into fighting the axis “in service of Israel.”
The Houthi leader said the region was passing through a “critical stage” and called for a high level of awareness and responsibility.
He accused Israel of committing “clear crimes” in Palestine and Lebanon and pursuing broader aggressive goals across the region.
The Houthis joined the war alongside Iran on March 28, launching missiles and drones at Israel, just 11 days before the ceasefire with the U.S. entered into effect.
And since the start of the ceasefire, the group has reportedly shot down two American drones over Yemen in an apparent warning to Washington.
Just a day after al-Houthi’s remarks, Mohsen Rezaei, a senior military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, told CNN that the Islamic Republic will “drag the war” beyond the Persian Gulf if the U.S. resumes the conflict, potentially expanding military operations from the Strait of Hormuz to the Indian Ocean, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
The Houthis de facto blocked the Bab al-Mandab Strait — a checkpoint connecting the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean — in response to the Israeli war on the Palestinian Gaza Strip before. 20
It is widely believed that the group still has the capabilities to block the waterway, and al-Houthi’s latest remarks indicate that it also has the will to do so.

go, houthis, go! chumpo’s butt needs another good kicking.
the costs of this war as it drags on, material, economic, financial and political, for chumpo and his joo masters and their accomplices will grow ever higher and finally cure the amerikunts and jooz of their endless s*itfuc*ery, arrogance and terror. with their economies wrecked, chumpo reviled as the worst ever president and both countries global pariahs, there will finally be justice and some accountability for their aggression and criminality.
this war was supposed to be a 3 day wonder with everyone going home in time for tea and medals. instead there is an open ended conflict, no end in sight, constantly escalating and expanding in scope and area, with the whole world paying the price for chumpo’s “little excursion” to iran. it is a busted flush and the consequences are incalculable. they will take many years to play out..
north korea may have supplied a nuke to iran as insurance while iran produces its own nuclear weapons. such nuclear weapons will come in the houthis’ responsible and restrained hands, for peace
iran and houthies both need some defensive stand-off range anti-ship missiles or other weapons to remove carriers and their support vessels from the regional equation.
hahaha…u.s. media try to say they are exhausted, that they hesitated to join in the war. that the u.s. hurt them so bad they don’t want to join in. americans are fed the worst possible made-up manure. 36% of americans believe it all. that’s also the percent of trump’s cult drones.
the usadmin has said that it has pounded the military capabilities of the houthi’s but it seems that the usadmin has been pounding sand. us foreign policy is going to bring the whole world to a grinding halt. the loss of life will be biblical and all thanks to a failing us empire in denial and in debt to their eyeballs.
