HOUTHIS LOCK BAB EL-MANDEB, D'ESPOSITO HALTS H-1B PIPELINE | HUMAN EVENTS W JACK POSOBIEC

Iran-backed Houthis have seized Perim/Mayyun Island, Mokha, and the Red Sea coast, tightening control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait while the U.S.–Iran war already snarls the Strait of Hormuz. Ship traffic has plunged, oil has spiked above $100, and a second global chokepoint is now in play. Jack Posobiec talks regional fallout with Curt Mills as Syria and the wider Iran war stay in the mix.   Labor Department Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito joins to break down the expanding H-1B and PERM fraud probe: Cognizant and Cloudera filings suspended, subpoenas flying, empty "body shop" buildings, and the White House Fraud Task Force treating cheap-labor schemes as a threat to American workers.   Glenn Story and JoBob on Turning Point Action's Commit 100 push—ballot chasing, precinct work, and midterm turnout as the map tightens.   If Iran's proxies can squeeze both Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb at once, should Washington treat the Red Sea as a second war front—or keep the fight at home on visas and votes?
