No more Mr. NICE GUY, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Yes he posted it. No more Mr. Nice Guy The Houthis (officially known as Ansar Allah, or "Supporters of God") are a Shia Islamist political and military group based in Yemen.​They have been a major player in the Middle East, especially over the last decade. Here is a quick breakdown of who they are and why they are currently in the news:​1. Origins and Beliefs​The group emerged in the 1990s in northern Yemen. They belong to the Zaydi branch of Shia Islam. Originally, they started as a movement to revive Zaydi traditions and oppose the religious and political influence of Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni government.​2. The Civil War​In 2014, the Houthis seized control of Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, sparking a massive civil war. This led to a military intervention by a Saudi-led coalition. Today, the Houthis control much of northern Yemen and the most populated areas of the country.​3. International Relations​Iran: The Houthis are widely considered to be backed by Iran, which provides them with weapons, technology, and training.​The "Axis of Resistance": They are part of a loose alliance that includes Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, all of whom oppose Western and Israeli influence in the region.​4. Why they are in the news (Red Sea Attacks)​Since late 2023, the Houthis have been attacking international commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. They claim these attacks are a response to Israel's actions in Gaza. These attacks have significantly disrupted global trade, leading the U.S. and UK to launch airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
