The Houthis, is a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaydi Shias, with their namesake leadership being drawn largely from the Houthi tribe. The group has been a central player in Yemen’s civil war, drawing widespread international condemnation for its human rights abuses, including targeting civilians and using child soldiers. The Houthis are backed by Iran. The Houthis emerged as an opposition movement to Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom they accused of corruption and being backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States.

The 193.30-kilometre-long (120.11 mi) canal is a key trade route between Europe and Asia. The attacks the Houthis carry out disrupt trade. This is making our corporate overlords lose money. Since the US government is just a puppet for corporate interests, yeah, the corporate overlords are letting the US military dogs loose on the Houthis. The corporate overlords and US government don’t give a shit about civilians dying via collateral damage.
