I suggest that you keep a close watch on what these people are doing, the entire Western world seem threatened with the price of oil again spiking to untenable heights. Thanks to Mike Claydon for this Israel report it is so good to know his health is improving and he is back reporting, Praise God. Mike is grateful for your ongoing prayers for both he and his wife’s complete recovery. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Wednesday 16 September 2026Iran’s Quds Force Ran the Houthi Attack — What Comes Next for Saudi Arabia. IDSF – Israel’s Defence and Security ForumI DSFIran just achieved something it couldn’t accomplish through years of direct conflict: leverage over two of the world’s most important oil chokepoints at the same time. While the Strait of Hormuz has stayed closed under direct Iranian pressure since March 2026, Iran’s Houthi allies in Yemen just completed a lightning takeover of the Bab al-Mandab Strait — seizing the port of Mocha, Perim Island, and the Hanish Islands in a matter of days, after a wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia wounded 73 people. In today’s briefing, we break down the evidence that this is an IRGC-directed operation — including reports that Quds Force commander Abdul Reza Shahlai, the “Shadow Man,” was on the ground directing it — while giving full weight to Iran’s denials and the argument that the Houthis are acting with real independence. We connect this directly to the broader 2026 Iran war, what it means for Israel’s own security and its quiet new coordination with Saudi Arabia, why it’s straining American naval resources across two fronts at once, and what happens next. HERE is the recording of today’s briefing. Israel Report “None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand”. [Daniel 12;10]
