The US administration appears to fail to notice the broader alliance taking shape behind the forces of the Yemeni Houthi movement and the interconnectedness of the current assault on the West. The Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have not been thwarted by the West or Israel, and their status within the Iran-led bloc has increased. The Houthis have also deepened their relationship with Russia, with Moscow offering them data tracking systems and ensuring safe passage for Russian vessels through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This highlights the outlines of a global anti-Western axis, including Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
