Yemen’s Houthi terrorists used targeting data provided by Russia to attack Western ships in the Red Sea earlier this year, an exclusive Thursday Wall Street Journal report disclosed.

According to the report, the Houthis used Russian satellite data to destabilize the region as the Israel-Hamas war expanded throughout the past year. A person familiar with the matter and two European defense officials reportedly told the WSJ this information.

Furthermore, the data was passed through Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members embedded within the Houthis, one of the sources reportedly said.

The report added that the assistance of Russia to the Iran-backed Houthis, designated by the US as a terror group, showed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s commitment to causing instability in the Middle East and undermining the US and Western world.

“For Russia, any flare-up anywhere is good news because it takes the world’s attention further away from Ukraine, and the US needs to commit resources—Patriot systems or artillery shells—and with the Middle East in play, it’s clear where the US will choose,” Alexander Gabuev, director of Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, a think tank based in Berlin, reportedly said.

The report noted that neither the Russian government nor the Houthi spokesman agreed to the WSJ’s request for comment.

As Israel has steadily increased operations against Iran and its militias in the region, Putin has turned away from his long-standing relationship with Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in favor of strengthened ties with Iran, the report added.
The Houthis have disrupted global trade

According to the WSJ, the Houthis’ attacks, bolstered by Iran and Russia, have caused significant disruptions to global trade, diverting shipper vessels for more expensive voyages. Additionally, the terrorists have reportedly attacked over 100 ships since November 2023, sinking two and hijacking another.

Don't believe such crap. The west are on high gear demonizing Putin of Russia.

Nowadays, their medias are reporting that thousands of north Koreans troops have arrived to Russia to help them fight against the Ukrainians and which is a sheer lie. This is ridiculous, do Russians need help from any when they are triumphantly marching towards Kiev the Ukrainian capital city?

The Ukrainians have lost the war. They are about to surrender. Of course NATO will abandon them while they know they have become a liability to them and they lack the balls to face Putin.

MV Sounion tanker safe following attack inside Eritrea's coastline.



The government of Russia is literally encouraging Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists to attack Western Oil tanker inside Eritrea's coastline and mentally deranged Tarik thinks it's funny, Eritrea should downgrade its diplomatic relations with Russia.

Eritrea is a victim of far away war.
