Is Russia Backing Yemen’s Houthis Against the US for Red Sea Control?

Yemen’s Houthis have launched another ballistic missile targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, issuing warnings to airlines about unsafe airspace. While Israeli defenses intercepted the attack, the escalation has heightened regional tensions. In response, the U.S. has increased its naval presence in the Middle East.

Amid these developments, speculation grows over Russia’s potential support for the Houthis to disrupt maritime activity in the Red Sea. With shifting global alliances and rising uncertainty, concerns mount over whether the U.S. is fully grasping the broader geopolitical implications.
