Houthis Resurge Amid Regional Tensions | Tulsa News

Houthi rebels are back with a vengeance, launching fresh attacks on Saudi oil facilities and Red Sea shipping — a move that’s reigniting regional tensions and serving Iran’s strategic interests. Since their 2014 uprising, these Shiite militants have turned Yemen into a war zone, killing over 150,000 and pushing the country to famine. After a brief lull following U.S. airstrikes in early 2025, they’ve resumed strikes, declaring a blockade against Saudi Arabia while rallying global attention. Their radical slogan and ties to Iran’s “Axis of Resistance” make them a destabilizing force, disrupting global trade routes like Bab el-Mandeb and driving up fuel prices worldwide. Saudi Arabia vows retaliation but remains cautious about escalating into full-scale war — as the world watches this volatile conflict unfold.
