Iran's Houthi Proxy Faces Red Sea Threat from Somaliland, a Pro-US African Nation
(Fox News) Paul Tilsley - Iran is said to be 'deeply threatened' by the small African breakaway state, Somaliland, because of the potential for U.S., Israeli, and Western powers to use its deep-water port and airbase. Such moves would severely disrupt Iran's plan to use its proxy, Yemen's Houthi terror group, to attack Red Sea shipping. Somaliland's Foreign Minister, Abdirahman Dahir Adam, told Fox News, 'At a time when the Strait of Hormuz is under pressure and threats to the Red Sea are escalating, Somaliland has reiterated its longstanding offer to provide the United States with access along our coast. We have been clear about this in times of peace, and we are equally clear today.'
