Who are the Houthi rebels attacking Red Sea ships? | BBC News
Global supply chains could face severe disruption as a result of the world’s biggest shipping companies diverting journeys away from the Red Sea.
Attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen on commercial vessels in recent weeks have resulted in many firms deciding to avoid one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
The Houthi group has declared its support for Hamas and has said it is targeting ships travelling to Israel.
But who are the Houthis? What are their motivations? And what are their links to Iran? The BBC’s analysis editor Ros Atkins explains.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump has reversed his threat of a 20% fee on all Strait of Hormuz cargo shipping, as the US battles to break Iran’s hold on the waterway.
He said the toll would be replaced by trade and investment deals with Gulf states, just hours before the US resumes a blockade of Iranian ports.
It follows renewed strikes between the US and Iran, which triggered a sharp rise in oil prices as tanker traffic through the Strait has virtually stalled.

Hamas has in 2018 recognised Israel within pre ‘67 borders. The commentator told a lie when he said Hamas wanted Israel gone.

Look who's involved, the usual suspects, the Western / Northern european, the ex- colonizers and slavers and imperialists.. .. france, the uk, and the United states!
The BBC should understand that the British Empire is the reason why the Middle East is a mess, and the British Empire is the reason why Iran is the way it is, remember england, Iran was a democracy until you decided to hook up with the United States and de-stabilized that region topple the government and appoint a king, all because they wanted to nationalize their oil. And you didn't like it🤔🤔… no country in the world has sovereignty, and will never have their own sovereignty until the United States imperialism and their little puppy that always follows them around.. (the uk!) Goes away… these eurocentric societies, … I tell you!!! there is no other group on our home planet earth, that is more dangerous than these people who come from the north of our planet.

Telling you this as an Arab who lives in the region and who is well educated about these groups. The houthis, isis, al qaeda, hamas, qasam, etc are all tools of the west and their leaders literally live in western countries or in countries allied with the west, and their existence is merely to conspire on others and gain diplomatic casus bellis to go rob some countries, even if these actions end up harming citizens in the west, a lot, but the west does not care, as they already sacrified 3000 Americans in 9/11 to gain war justification with grand scale, after ussr collapsed and usa became the sole super power and so it wanted to expand militarily and rob others, as no one could stand against it at that time.

America does not run out of excuses to stage attacks on any country perceived threat to American interests. When there is nothing they will create something. American system is a thuggery system that sucks from innocent nations.

Remember the BBC reported that the Russians blew up their Nordstream pipeline after the Democrats had promised it wouldn’t be allowed to supply Europe with gas. I wouldn’t believe a word of their propaganda.
