Dozens of arms dealers based in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, controlled by the Houthis, are effectively using X as a shopfront, posting pictures of assault rifles for sale. Many are touting the guns under the Houthi logo that reads: “God is the greatest, death to America, death to Israel, a curse on the Jews and victory to Islam.”
Some of the gun dealers’ X accounts have verified blue ticks, giving them increased prominence on the network.
The Houthis have been designated a global terrorist group by the United States after they attacked shipping in the Red Sea in response to the war in Gaza. Washington has accused Iran of supplying the rebels with drones and missiles.
Iranian-backed militants
No need for imperial propaganda. You can just call them yemeni. They’re fighting against palestinian genocide, saudi tyranny, imperialism, etc., while being attacked by poverty, famine, and endless imperial violence. They’re much better than the alternatives.
