Yemen’s Houthi militants have seized two strategic islands in the Red Sea, reinforcing the Iran-backed group’s ability to control a key shipping route, as concerns mount that the world is facing a new oil supply crisis. The seizure of the islands of Greater and Lesser Hanish is the latest in the militant group’s swift advance across Yemen’s Red Sea coast, after the capture of the port of Mokha and Perim island in the Bab al-Mandab strait. The islands lie 160km north of the strait which is a chokepoint that connects the Red Sea to the open ocean and Saudi Arabia’s key Asian markets. The speed of the Houthis’ advance has left Yemen’s Saudi-backed government trying to claw back territory captured by the militants in recent days, while Riyadh grapples with attacks on a critical oil pipeline by Iran-allied militants in Iraq.

The Americans armed the Saudis. Some of those weapons were provided to the Yemeni government, who are fighting the houthis.

Iran has been arming and training the houthis, helping to scuttle Yemen's opportunity to develop into a democracy.

The war is getting worse in the Middle East.
We can only hope that the Houthis supply line from Iran is halted.

Many countries should join Trump.
Might help to beat Terrorism once and for all and help get the fuel cost down.
