US-Houthi War: ‘Your Oil Will Not Remain’: Yemen Makes Direct Threat To Saudi Arabia Amid US Strikes

You may have caught U.S. war reports how we are carpet bombing the heck out of Yemen. Just like early Iraq and Afghanistan. The Houthis have another card to play and that is the Saudi oil fields that are in their range. Something to keep in mind. How are things going? Well it is costing big bucks.

News from the front as we go on the offensive.

Yemeni air defenses have shot down a  US MQ-9 Reaper drone for the third time within 10 days as daily US airstrikes on Yemen that began on March 15 have failed to deter the Houthis or stop their attacks.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on Wednesday that Yemeni forces were “able to shoot  down an American MQ-9 drone while it was carrying out hostile missions in the airspace of Al-Jawf Governorate, using a suitable, locally manufactured missile.”

Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, who has sources in the Pentagon, confirmed that the drone was shot down. “This is the fourth MQ-9 Reaper drone shot down by the Houthis since March 3rd, and the fourth shot down under the Trump administration,” she wrote on X.

Griffin recently reported that the US has been bombing Yemen using heavy B-2 bombers deployed to the US base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. “The US military has carried out 25 straight days of bombing, including with B-2 stealth bombers dropping bunker buster bombs, and yet the Houthis continue to fire missiles to shoot these expensive US assets down,” she said on Wednesday.

Saree said the incident marked the 18th American MQ-9 Reaper drone shot down by the Houthis since October 2023. At $30 million per MQ-9, that means $540 million worth of US drones have been lost if the Houthi number is accurate. The New York Times recently reported that the bombing campaign launched by President Trump on March 15 will soon have cost over $1 billion.

The Yemen Army on Wednesday (Apr 9) warned Saudi Arabia not to ‘get involved’ in the US-led attacks on the Houthi rebels. The Houthis hinted at a possible attack on Saudi oil installations, posting images from past strikes on Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company by market capitalization and production. These installations are within striking distance of the Houthi-led armed forces of Yemen.

Houthis DESTROY U.S. Drone – FATAL MISTAKE… Here is what happens.

When a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone was shot down over the Red Sea by Houthi rebels on March 4th, 2025, it seemed like a tactical win for the Iran-backed militia in Yemen. But what they didn’t realize was that, in its final moments, the drone transmitted critical intelligence directly to nearby U.S. Navy forces—including the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier.

What followed wasn’t a diplomatic warning—it was a full-scale military response. Within the hour, Tomahawk missiles were launched from an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, F/A-18 Super Hornets took off from carriers, and EA-18G Growlers jammed enemy communications.

Tensions are rising as the U.S. shifts from a defensive to an offensive posture in the Middle East. What does this mean for future Navy operations, for U.S.–Iran proxy conflicts, and for the safety of global shipping lanes?
