    I’m curious how they know Houthis are supplying ISIS with resources when people like Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense says “I think messaging is going to be tough no matter what - nobody knows who the Houthis are -” in the chats he thought were private.

    If you don’t know who they are, how are you claiming they are transporting things?

      I’d like to see the actual proof of Houthis collaboration with ISIS before I believe it.

      ISIS and Houthis aren’t aligned basically at all from what I know. ISIS are an extremist Wahhabi group and Houthis are Shia. Houthis are pro-palestine while ISIS has repeatedly attacked Palestine and been supported by Israel.

      The “nobody knows who they are” is in reference to the general public. That makes it hard to communicate why that group runs counter to US interests.
