Houthis Threaten to BOMB Israel’s Haifa; Iran-Backed Fighters Announce Haifa Port Blockade | Details

In a dramatic escalation, Iran-backed Houthi rebels have threatened to bomb Israel’s strategic Haifa port, days after announcing an air blockade on Ben Gurion Airport. The group has now declared a maritime blockade on Haifa, raising alarms over Israel’s northern security and Red Sea shipping routes.

Israel Eliminates Hezbollah Commander in Drone Attack; Day After Netanyahu Vows to Kill Al-Houthi

Israel has eliminated a senior Hezbollah commander, just one day after Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to target Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. The deadly operation is being seen as a chilling signal to Iran-backed factions across the region, especially Yemen’s Ansarallah (Houthis). The strike comes amid Israel’s ongoing confrontations with Hezbollah on its northern front and follows escalating rhetoric against Houthi leadership for their continued attacks in solidarity with Gaza.

Trump’s Shameful Defeat Against Houthis? U.S. Pulls USS Harry Truman After Ceasefire With Houthis

Trump’s Big Defeat Against Houthis? The U.S. has withdrawn its aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S. Truman, from the Red Sea without replacement — signaling what many see as a strategic retreat under pressure from Yemen’s Houthi forces. The move follows a ceasefire brokered by Oman, aiming to halt maritime attacks. But while the U.S. and Houthis have paused direct hostilities, Houthi operations against Israel continue. #TrumpVsHouthis #USSRetreat #USSHarryTruman #HouthiVictory #RedSeaTensions #MiddleEastConflict #TrumpMiddleEastPolicy #YemenCeasefire #HouthiPower #TrumpDefeat #USNavyWithdrawal #RedSeaCrisis #HouthiResistance #TrumpWarFailure #GeopoliticalShift ~HT.410~PR.152~GR.124~ED.420~

NATO Attack On Yemen: UK Royal Air Force Joins U.S In First Major Blitz Under Trump On Houthis

Britain and the United States have carried out new joint airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, marking the UK’s first publicized strike operation alongside the U.S. since the Trump era. RAF Typhoon jets targeted Houthi drone sites near Sanaa, in response to escalating attacks on commercial shipping and missiles fired toward Israel. These Iran-backed assaults have disrupted global trade in the Red Sea by over 50%. UK Defense Secretary John Healey warned the ongoing Houthi threat poses serious risks to regional stability, global shipping, and national economies.
