Houthis Attacked Saudi Arabian Ships, Trump Says The latest salvo in the Middle East's ongoing proxy war has been fired by former US President Donald Trump, who claims that Iran backed Houthi rebels attacked two Saudi Arabian ships.
This development is a stark reminder of the combustible dynamics of the Gulf region. Trump's intervention is telling. It's not just his love of Twitter or its successor, Truth Social, driving this action.
Rather, it's a symptom of a deeper issue: the erosion of international norms and institutions in favor of unilateral, self serving action.
