Houthis Blockade Saudis. Red Sea Closed for Renovations.

Rumble link Bitchute link False Flag Weekly News linkOn July 20, Yemen’s AnsurAllah government—the bravest and most principled in the Arab world—closed the Red Sea to Saudi, US, and Israeli shipping. They slammed Bab al-Madab shut exactly one week after the Saudis bombed Sanaa International Airport to prevent a flight from Tehran from landing. That flight was carrying AnsurAllah officials who had attended the momentous, massively-attended funeral for the Supreme Leader of Iran, Imam Ali Khamenei, the spiritual leader of tens of millions of people throughout the region and around the world.Memo to Trump: Murdering spiritual leaders revered by tens if not hundreds of millions of people is probably not a good idea.Mainstream media claimed that AnsurAllah’s retaliation on July 13, which targeted Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia, “shattered a four-year truce.” But it was Saudi Arabia’s bombing Sanaa Airport, not Yemen’s retaliation, that “shattered the truce.”The Saudis claimed that it wasn’t they who had bombed the airport, it was their Riyadh-based puppet occupation regime. That collection of quislings is obviously illegitimate, a mere catspaw for the Saudis. But the oil-rich sheikhs of Riyadh have used their ill-gotten billions to purchase fake “international recognition” for their pathetic pseudo-Yemeni stooges. Despite that superficial veneer of “international recognition,” nobody was fooled by the Saudis’ diversionary blather.What’s more, that “four-year truce” was a smokescreen for the Saudis’ genocidal blockade of Yemen. Around half a million Yemenis have died, four million have been displaced from their homes, and millions of children have faced severe hunger and lack of medical care due to the Saudi war and blockade.By bombing Sanaa Airport, the Saudis (and their Epstein-class bosses) offered AnsurAllah a perfect opportunity to break that genocidal blockade and regain access to food and medicine. The Saudi bombing of Sanaa was an act of war. Yemen and its legitimate government, AnsurAllah, had every right to respond. And respond they did—not just bombing a Saudi airport, but by closing Bab al-Mandab, and with it the whole Red Sea, one week later. Their “blockade for a blockade” tit-for-tat will likely not only collapse the Saudi genocide of Yemen, but also trigger immense geopolitical repercussions.With the Red Sea closed, Saudi oil exports are being severely throttled. Iran had already closed the Strait of Hormuz, and with it the Persian Gulf, eliminating the main Saudi export route. The Saudis had responded by piping oil across the country to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, and from there to Asia through the Bab al-Mandab. That allowed the Saudis to continue exporting about half as much oil as their average before February 28. Now their Red Sea exports are also being choked off. The net result of the closure of Bab al-Madab will be a doubling of the pain imposed by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, potentially creating “one crisis too many” for the global economy. Prior to the Red Sea closure, about 20% of the world’s oil supplies went through Hormuz. Due to various workarounds, the actual reduction to global oil supplies was less than 10%. Indeed, 7% is probably a good estimate. So now that AnsurAllah is taking another 7% off the market, the net shortfall is heading up to around 15%. This doubling of the oil-shortfall pain is happening just as the world’s emergency reserves are getting dangerously close to “tank bottom.” Due to the coming oil shock, which will exacerbate pre-existing structural vulnerabilities including the AI bubble and larger debt bubble, it seems highly likely that the global economy will suffer extremely severe shocks before the end of the year, for reasons discussed by Michael Hudson and Ron Unz.Yemen’s AnsurAllah leaders are not a timid bunch. Can you imagine any other government with the guts to put “damn the Jews” on their flag? (X link to video<
