Mysterious Airstrip on Yemeni Island Sparks Fears Amid Houthi Attacks and Regional Tensions |Details
A mysterious airstrip nearing completion on Yemen’s remote Abd al-Kuri Island raises regional security concerns.
Satellite images suggest the UAE is behind the project, potentially to counter Houthi rebel attacks that threaten global shipping routes.
As tensions escalate, the runway could be pivotal for surveillance and military operations in the Gulf of Aden.
With the Houthis’ continued assaults on Israel and U.S. forces, and suspected weapons smuggling from Iran, this new development could further destabilize the already volatile region.
Deadly violence erupts in the Red Sea as Houthi militants attack Filipino crew members aboard the MV Eternity C. Eight have been rescued, but 13 remain missing, with fears of kidnapping and fatalities. The Philippine government has suspended the manning agency responsible and pledged full support to survivors. The U.S. condemns the attacks and demands the immediate release of any kidnapped sailors. Watch the latest updates on this escalating maritime crisis in a war zone.

We break down the latest developments and what’s next in this escalating crisis.

Houthi forces have reportedly launched Zulfiqar ballistic missiles targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport, sending shockwaves through Tel Aviv. Explosions were heard across the area, triggering mass panic, flight suspensions, and emergency evacuations. This unprecedented strike marks a dangerous expansion of the Israel-Houthi confrontation and raises alarm over Iran-backed militia reaching deep into Israeli territory.

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.
The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes.
With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond.

A chilling new video shows Houthi militants storming the British-flagged cargo vessel Magic Seas in the Red Sea. Heavily armed fighters board the ship at gunpoint, firing shots as chaos erupts. Within moments, thick smoke engulfs the deck, flames rise, and the ship disappears beneath the waves.
This isn’t just an attack—it’s a terrifying message. The Houthis, often underestimated, are declaring symbolic dominance over the strategic Red Sea corridor. The attack sends shockwaves across Western powers that depend on this route for trade, oil, and global connectivity, including critical undersea internet cables. With increasing control over chokepoints like Bab el-Mandeb, the Houthis now pose a geopolitical nightmare that could unravel maritime security, disrupt global commerce, and challenge Western naval dominance. The Red Sea isn’t just boiling with conflict—it’s slipping out of Western control, one ship at a time.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israel’s Eilat port is now “impossible,” reaffirming Yemen’s firm blockade on Israeli-linked shipping through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea. In a defiant televised address, al-Houthi warned all shipping companies against aiding Israel, promising decisive retaliation. He cited the Yemeni Navy's missile strike on the ETERNITY C and the dramatic sinking of the Magic Seas as warnings.
Yemen’s naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israel’s bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemen’s missile defense systems. He stated that despite near-total U.S. backing, Israel had failed militarily, especially in Gaza, where resistance fighters killed and wounded nearly 20 Israeli soldiers in a single operation. The Red Sea front, he asserted, now belongs to the resistance — and Eilat is no longer open.

This exclusive new footage provides a chilling, firsthand look inside the bulk carrier 'Magic Sea' during a devastating attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. The video captures the sheer panic as alarms blare and glass shatters from the impact of the strike, forcing the crew to abandon the ship just moments before it began to sink. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Red Sea crisis, which is severely disrupting global shipping routes.
The Houthi group in Yemen officially claimed responsibility for the attack, stating they utilized a combination of unmanned boats, naval missiles, and drones. According to a statement by their spokesperson, the group alleges that the 'Magic Sea' had violated their ban on ships entering Israeli ports, which they refer to as "occupied ports." They further claimed that the ship's crew had been issued multiple warnings but failed to comply, leading to the direct strike.
In the aftermath of the attack, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) confirmed a successful rescue operation. All 22 crew members and the security staff onboard the vessel were safely evacuated before the ship was completely lost. This attack is the latest in a series of aggressive actions by the Houthis against international maritime traffic, raising global concerns over the security of this critical waterway and the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East.

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASA’s FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iran’s military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily.

Four major Arab nations — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan — have strongly condemned Israel’s military strikes on Iran, labeling them as violations of sovereignty and international law. Riyadh has called for urgent UN Security Council intervention, while the UAE urged maximum restraint. Kuwait and Jordan warned the strikes threaten Middle East stability. All four nations demand immediate global action to prevent the outbreak of a larger regional war, as fears of a wider Islamic world backlash begin to grow.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

A senior Iranian official confirmed that Israel attempted to assassinate President Masoud Pezeshkian during a high-level military meeting amid Israel's June attacks on Iran. Presidential advisor Sayyed Mehdi Tabatabaei revealed that Israel targeted a gathering of political and military leaders with a large-scale explosion, calling it a direct operation aimed at decapitating Iran's leadership. Pezeshkian himself confirmed the assassination attempt in a recent interview, criticizing Israeli hostility and U.S. complicity. Iran has vowed to reject any future negotiations that seek to undermine its nuclear capabilities and missile program, which it considers non-negotiable national rights. Iranian leaders also accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of bias and warned that cooperation with the agency depends on fair treatment.
