Israel has just dealt a major blow to Houthi leadership in Yemen. This isn’t just about one strike—it’s the same playbook Israel used in Lebanon against Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and the men who came after him. Take out the head, and you force the movement to scramble.

But there’s a bigger picture here. Israel is systematically cutting Iran’s tentacles across the region—first Hezbollah in Lebanon, now the Houthis in Yemen. Each strike isn’t only about the immediate target; it’s about weakening Tehran’s reach and reminding Iran that its proxies are not untouchable.

The Houthis won’t likely sit quietly in the shadows. We should expect more strikes, more retaliation, and yes—more chaos. And looming in the background is the possibility that Israel could eventually take this campaign one step further, striking inside Iran itself.

What we’re watching is a volatile triangle—Israel, Iran, and the Houthis—where the heat is rising fast. And just like in Lebanon, the fallout won’t stay local. #Yemen #Houthis #Iran #Israel
