Houthis Warn ‘No Red Lines’ In Counterattack After\u00a0Israel Bombs\u00a0Yemeni Port<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Israel confirmed on Sunday its military forces launched a\u00a0retaliatory airstrike on the Hodeida Port, a key Yemeni port on the Red Sea and the second largest in the country.<\/p>\n

Al Hudaydah port in Yemen keeps burning and all their oil reserves are going up in flames, more than 24 hours after Israel’s bombing \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n

They shouldn’t have sent that f*cking drone to Tel Aviv.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Hodeida port was the “entry point for weapons that Iran supplies to its Houthi terrorist proxies. \u200fThe Houthis have used those weapons to attack Israel, to attack Arab states in the region, to attack many others.”<\/p>\n

From the beginning of the war, I made it clear that Israel will act against all attackers, which is why we struck Houthi targets in Yemen yesterday in response to the deadly drone attack near the US Consulate in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

The Israeli strike came one day after Iran-backed\u00a0Houthis hit Tel Aviv with a drone for the first time, killing one person and injuring several others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PM\u00a0Netanyahu\u00a0described the counteroffensive against Houthis as a “direct response” to the\u00a0kamikaze drone attack on civilians in\u00a0Tel Aviv<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response to the port attack, which killed three people and wounded 80, rebel\u00a0spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam told\u00a0Qatar’s Al Jazeera TV, who was cited by\u00a0Times of Israel and Reuters staff<\/a><\/em>, as saying there will be “no red lines” in the next attack on Israel.<\/p>\n

“All sensitive institutions with all its levels will be a target for us,”\u00a0Abdulsalam told Al Jazeera.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Separately,\u00a0Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree warned the terror group’s\u00a0“response to the Israeli aggression against our country is inevitably coming and will be huge.”<\/p>\n

Over the last\u00a0nine months, rebel forces have fired\u00a0over 220 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at Israel in support of Gaza, where Israel has been fighting\u00a0Hamas terrorists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Houthis have also targeted Western-linked vessels, including container ships and crude tankers, in the critical maritime chokepoint of the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What’s clear is that\u00a0Houthi’s threat coverage<\/a> is expanding, something we told readers was possible at the start of May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Numerous\u00a0maritime chokepoints<\/a> in the Middle East are under constant threat, which has only sparked a global supply shock (read<\/strong>: “Supply Shock: Shipping Container Costs Top $10,000 Amid Red Sea Turmoil Thinning Global Capacity”<\/a><\/em>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A recent note by David Asher, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former State Department official in the Trump administration, warned that the next financial shock<\/a> could potentially originate from the Middle East through the weaponization of crude oil by Iran.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On slide 29 of the report, Asher pointed out that\u00a0Yemen’s Houthi rebels could begin\u00a0targeting high-value oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. This would send Brent crude over the $100\/bbl level quickly if Abqaiq were hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember 2019?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Israeli’s attack on\u00a0Hodeida is a ‘message’ to Iran<\/a>. Now, the perfect storm of escalation is possibly ahead.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

All eyes are also on Brent crude prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
