The Houthis are a destabilizing terror group that bombed a civilian port, killed seven people and wrecked food supplies at Mokha — all while targeting a Saudi Aramco refinery with drones. This is exactly the kind of Iranian-backed aggression that threatens to reignite Yemen's civil war and choke off global oil shipping routes. The world cannot afford to treat these attacks as anything other than what they are: deliberate terrorism against civilian infrastructure.
The Houthi strikes on Mokha and the Aramco refinery in Jazan were direct responses to Saudi drone incursions into Yemeni airspace and ongoing Saudi military buildups along Yemen's coast. Trump reportedly greenlit Saudi strikes on Sanaa's airport, collapsing a ceasefire that had held since 2022 and forcing the Houthis back into open conflict. Saudi Arabia bears real responsibility for reigniting this war.
