Iran calls on Houthis to prepare to cut off Red Sea gateway — can the terror group do it?

• • Iran has instructed Houthi rebels to prepare to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait using missiles, drones, and sea mines.


• • The Houthis possess the capability to disrupt shipping through anti-ship missiles and small-boat attacks.


• • A total, long-term blockade remains uncertain against coordinated multinational naval responses.

Context
The Houthis act as a proxy for Iranian interests to exert pressure on global trade. This threat escalates as the U.S. considers strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure.

Christian Perspective
The use of terror tactics to disrupt global resources reflects the chaotic nature of those who reject the natural order. This aggression highlights the ongoing struggle between civilizing forces and radical ideologies.

Implications
Disruptions in the Red Sea will drive up energy costs and fuel inflation for American families. Economic instability directly threatens the ability of Christian households to maintain stability and build strong families.

Broader Trends
This conflict illustrates the failure of liberal internationalism to maintain peace through globalist naval coalitions. It shows how hostile foreign powers exploit regional instability to undermine Western economic dominance.

Takeaway
The United States must prioritize America First policies by securing vital trade routes to protect domestic economic sovereignty. Strong, decisive leadership is required to neutralize proxy threats before they destabilize the American way of life.
