The Houthi rebels in Yemen are becoming more and more dangerous in the Middle East.

The Houthis have been fighting the Yemeni government since 2014.

But after Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, the Houthis began to attack Israel. They also attacked ships in the Red Sea.

The US carried out air strikes in early 2025.

Then the attacks decreased.

But in July, the Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia again.

This is also good for Iran.

Iran wants to pressure the US.

The Houthis are Zaydi people.

The Zaydi branch is a small group of Shia Islam.

The Houthis' official slogan means they hate the US and Israel.

The Saudi-led stopping of ships left Houthi areas alone.

The Houthis belong to Iran's 'axis of resistance.'

After the Gaza war, the Houthis fired missiles and drones at Israel.

From November 2023 to December 2024, more than 100 ships were attacked.

Because of these attacks, trade through the Red Sea dropped a lot.
