Houthi Drones And Missiles Supplied By Iran Causing Massive Disruption That The Combined Might Of The United States And Israel Seem Unable To Stop

When a $20,000 missile fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels can bring down a US Reaper drone worth over $30 million, the cost of war takes on a new, troubling shape.

The is a perplexing problem in the Middle East, and no one seems willing or able to solve it. The problem? Houthi drones supplied to the rebels from Iran continue to cause major damage, as recently as yesterday, Houthi drones targeted and hit the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Netanyahu is fuming because Trump won’t allow Israel to attack Iran, and the United States also does not appear to have an appetite to do that, either. In the meantime, Iran has free reign to wreak havoc, through the Houthi drones, on targets in Israel and on US and international shipping interests in the Red Sea.

“And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?“ Numbers 32:6 (KJB)

The Houthi missile that hit the Ben Gurion Airport this weekend was somehow able to make its way through Iron Dome and US THAAD interceptors, that’s a bad sign. The missiles and drones used by the Houthis are supplied to them from Iran who continues to wage war by proxy against Israel and the United States with seeming impunity. I am beyond disappointed with the results of the first 100 days of the new Trump administration, it’s been nothing but a self-aggrandizing, flaming, chaotic mess. Somebody needs to step up and start showing some leadership and put Iran in their place before it’s too late.

Houthi drones drain billions from West as Red Sea chaos escalates, experts say

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: That imbalance is now defining the crisis in the Red Sea, where sustained attacks from Iranian-backed terrorists are draining Western defense budgets and disrupting the arteries of global commerce.

Over 800 strikes have been carried out by the United States against Houthi positions since March 15, yet the barrage of drones and missiles has not ceased. As Houthi forces target American, British, and Israeli-linked ships across one of the world’s most vital maritime corridors, military and economic pressure is intensifying on the US and its allies, with no end in sight.

According to British Colonel (ret.) Richard Kemp, who commanded forces in Afghanistan and has advised on Middle East security, said Iran’s fingerprints are all over the conflict. “This is Iran flexing its muscles,” Kemp said in an exclusive interview with The Media Line. “It’s not only about attacking Israel—it’s about showing that Tehran can hurt the West, especially economically, without ever firing a shot directly.” Kemp described the Houthis as one arm of what he called the “Iranian octopus,” used to deter Western attacks on Iran by threatening both military and commercial targets.

“It’s a way of saying: if you hit us, we’ll unleash chaos through our proxies,” he said. “And the Red Sea is one of the best places to do that.”

The economic disparity between offensive and defensive action in this conflict is staggering. While the Houthis fire relatively cheap projectiles—often made with imported components from Iran—intercepting them requires millions of dollars in sophisticated Western systems.

Janatan Sayeh, a research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, explained that this isn’t accidental—it’s strategic. “This is asymmetric warfare by design,” Sayeh told The Media Line. “You don’t need to inflict mass casualties. You just need to make your adversary bleed money.” Sayeh detailed how the Houthis now assemble most of their weaponry inside Yemen. “Iran no longer sends complete missiles,” he said. “They send parts—drones, guidance systems, warheads—and the Houthis put them together locally, based on instructions. This modular system makes interception harder and enables a continuous supply chain.”

As long as the Houthis receive weapons, training, and political backing from Tehran, none of the experts interviewed believe the threat will disappear. “So long as the weapons are coming from Tehran,” said Sayeh, “this issue is going to persist.” Kemp echoed the same warning: “Unless we start thinking of this as a global strategy by Iran, we’ll keep losing this battle—one overpriced missile at a time.” READ MORE
