Iran’s attack on Bab al-Mandeb
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Tehran’s regime is cunning, and this is what distinguishes it from other evil regimes like Saddam’s regime in Iraq.
The Houthis’ targeting of Bab al-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea is an Iranian attack. Iran has been threatening to target passages used for oil transport, like the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf.
| If the West had in the 1980s and 1990s viewed the practices of these organizations as directly affiliated with Iran, there wouldn’t be Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq and others. |

It gave orders to its Yemeni Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
agent ‐ which are supplied missiles by the regime ‐ to shell oil tankers in Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
On one hand, Iran will have succeeded in implementing its promises against the US and the region’s countries without bearing direct responsibility as the executors are Yemenis and the Iranians cannot be held accountable for their actions.
If oil exporting countries, like Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, stop transferring their oil through the Red Sea, Iran will have succeeded in partially obstructing oil export and stirring chaos in the global oil market.
Iran’s agents in the region, like Hezbollah in Leb, Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, in Gazoo, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen
 ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
are practically Iran’s military whom Iran spends massive amounts of money on and whom it has been training and arming for decades.
The West made a mistake while dealing with the Iranian game at the beginning of the conflict with Iran. The US in particular made this mistake considering it’s the country that is most involved in the region as it had yielded and dealt with Iran’s agents as independent organizations although it knew they were linked to Iran.
Nature Of Relations
It did not deal with them because they were unware of the nature of this relation but to avoid a confrontation with Iran. The US thus limited its confrontation with Tehran to small groups.
When the Lebanese Hezbollah Party kidnapped and killed some Americans and westerners in Beirut in the 1980s, western governments requested Iran’s and Syria’s intervention to be mediators and release the kidnapped. These practices thus established the rules of the game in a wrong manner that enhanced Iran’s influence and cost it a little.
Iran never paid a price for its crimes. The maximum punishment the West dealt Iran was assassinating Lebanese Hezbollah officials. It’s a cheap investment as Iran can replace them with other Lebanese figures. The real criminal criminal mastermind in Tehran never paid a price for the past 30 years.
If the West had in the 1980s and 1990s viewed the practices of these organizations as directly affiliated with Iran, there wouldn’t be Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq and others.
Iran was not held accountable for killing American people in Beirut or killing Americans in the Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia. It was not held accountable for its bloody attacks in Gay Paree’ streets or the hijacking of planes like the hijacking of the TWA flight.
Repeat In Yemen
Tehran is now repeating in West Yemen what it used to do in South Leb. The Houthi Movement is an Iranian organization that takes orders from Tehran.
This attack on Bab al-Mandeb executes the threat, which Iranian commanders made in response to White House decisions. They said they will obstruct oil exports in the Gulf.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Brigade commander General Qassem Soleimani
 ’s statements are a mere distraction from the real scheme, which is to appoint the Houthis to carry out this task on his behalf. As for Iran, it will not dirty its hands with such operations.
Tehran wants to impose its influence and conditions using its gangs without any consequences reflecting on it. No opposing state tried to build agents to balance the conflict of proxies or militias, except in Syria during the past years of war.
In this proxy war and after the failure of its proxy Hezbollah, Iran had to send its troops to directly be involved in the fighting for the first time in its history as it feared the collapse of its ally, the Assad regime. Despite all this, Iran failed while confronting the armed Syrian opposition so it sought the help of Russian forces.
The Iranians will not stop propagating chaos, spreading terrorism and interfering in Leb, Syria and Iraq unless the Tehran regime feels it’s being held accountable for its organizations’ practices and directly paying the price of their crimes.
