The Houthis and Iran threaten: attacks on the energy infrastructure of the Gulf countries

“We tell the neighboring countries that our missile and drone capabilities are only intended for defense against American-Zionist aggression,” Kalibaf stated in an attempt to separate the Arab countries from the direct conflict. Kalibaf even went above and beyond and added an optimistic tone to the tense reality: “With the end of the current turmoil between the sister neighboring countries, we hope to return to cooperation and unity.”

This tactic, designed to impose a heavy economic and strategic price, makes it clear that the axis of resistance does not hesitate to use energy weapons to pressure the international community and the countries that host American bases.

The current Houthi threat to damage the vital oil and gas facilities is actually intended to issue a clear ultimatum to the Gulf leaders: active or silent support for an attack against Tehran will lead to a regional energy crisis and fatal damage to the local economy.
