DEVELOPING: Houthis SEIZE strategic port as Middle East tensions explode
Iran-backed Houthi rebels have reportedly seized the strategic port city of Mokha in Yemen. This action further strains global trade and is seen as part of a larger pattern of Houthi assertiveness, supported by Iran.
The seizure of Mokha port could significantly impact global trade routes, potentially leading to increased shipping costs and disruptions. It also escalates tensions in the Middle East and highlights the effectiveness of U.S. economic pressure on Iran in limiting its ability to fund proxy groups.
The segment also discusses former President Trump's past actions against Iran, including ordering strikes and reducing oil sales, and a column by Marc Thiessen reflecting on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the prevention of further catastrophic attacks.
