Is the Red Sea About to Become a Graveyard Again that Brings Down a World Empire?

The naval war in the Red Sea continues to develop, with expectations growing that the U.S. will soon start bombing Yemen, while the Houthis continue to threaten shipping by attacking all ships passing through. The U.S. is building a coalition in the area to protect ships, but that coalition apparently does not involve any of the key Arab oil-producing states (except for the small island country of Bahrain), such as Saudi Arabia, which has recently made peace with Yemen after years of war with them. So the big question now is will Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and other Gulf nations join this effort led by the U.S., or stay out in support of the Palestinian people? Military actions in the Red Sea seem inevitable now, based on the rhetoric coming from both sides. Iran has warned that the U.S. will face "extraordinary problems" if they start a war in the Red Sea. Former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson appeared on Redacted yesterday to discuss what some of those "problems" might be for the U.S. in the Red Sea, which he says includes reduced military forces arming their ships, as well as the need to port and restock ammunition.  Hussain Al Bukhaiti, a political analyst aligned with the Houthi movement, states that the Houthis are not afraid of the United States and their coalition.
