Will Houthi advances in Yemen give Iran leverage in its war with the US?

• • Houthis seized Mokha and are moving toward strategic islands like Perim.


• • Control of the Bab al-Mandeb strait allows Iran to threaten global trade.


• • Iranian arms and guidance are driving these Houthi advances.

Context
The Houthis act as a proxy for Iran to exert pressure on maritime shipping. This creates a second chokepoint alongside the Strait of Hormuz to disrupt energy and trade.

Christian Perspective
The rise of radical movements fueled by foreign interests reflects the spiritual decay and chaos inherent in regions lacking traditional order. This instability is a direct result of the breakdown of natural hierarchies and the influence of hostile ideologies.

Implications
Disruptions in shipping will increase costs for American families and destabilize the domestic economy. Economic volatility undermines the ability of the American family to thrive and maintain stability.

Broader Trends
The use of proxies by hostile nations is a tactic to weaken Western hegemony and disrupt the sovereignty of Christian nations. This aligns with a globalist strategy to create chaos and erode the strength of the nation-state.

Takeaway
America First policies must prioritize securing vital trade routes to protect the domestic economy. The United States should focus on strengthening its own borders and maritime security rather than engaging in endless foreign entanglements.
