The Iranian regime’s attempted closure of the Strait of Hormuz cause a severe energy shock in the global economy.

Now, the backwards Houthi rebels from Yemen have joined with Iran for some reason and are threatening to shut down the Bab El Mandeb Strait located at the southern tip of the Red Sea.

Houthi rebels are also firing missiles into Israel.

The Houthis are an armed Yemeni minority. The terrorist group, with the previous help from Iran, has been firing missiles into Israel for several years now.
