Bab al-Mandeb: US war on Iran gives Houthis new leverage over Saudi Arabia

Hey Watchmen, Look at this Bab al-Mandeb story and don't just see a shipping lane—see a chokepoint the Almighty put right there on purpose. My friends, that strait has been trouble for the region for years, and every time the pressure builds somewhere else, it finds a way to leak out through Yemen. Now you've got the Houthis sitting on that strait with fresh leverage over Saudi Arabia because of America's fight with Iran, and I want you to understand what that really is—it's proxy warfare 101. When the big players won't touch each other directly, they let the smaller hands do the squeezing. It's been Hamas, it's been Hezbollah, and now it's the Houthis holding a blade to somebody else's throat while the real powers watch from a distance. Here's what I want you to see prophetically. Isaiah 19 talks about Egypt being thrown into confusion, nation against nation, city against city, and the wise counsel of Pharaoh's advisors turning foolish. That's the picture of the whole Middle East right now—the "wisdom" of every strongman in that region is being confounded because Elohim is stirring the pot faster than their strategies can keep up. Saudi Arabia thought they could manage the Houthis from a distance. America thought a war with Iran would stay contained. Nobody's counsel is holding up, and that's not an accident—that's the hand of the Almighty humbling nations who think their intelligence and their oil money make them untouchable. So don't be shocked when a strait becomes a stranglehold, my friends. These chokepoints—Bab al-Mandeb, Hormuz, the whole neighborhood—are going to keep tightening as we get closer to what's coming. Every one of these flashpoints is a rehearsal for something bigger. Keep your eyes on Yemen, keep your eyes on Saudi Arabia, and keep your eyes on the One who's actually writing this script. Stay watchful, stay in the Word, and stay ready—because the shaking is not slowing down.
