Reports indicate that Viktor Bout, the notorious Russian arms dealer known as the 'Merchant of Death', has resumed his arms trading activities, this time reportedly selling weapons to the Houthis in Yemen. The resurgence of Bout in the arms business raises significant concerns in the United States regarding Russia's potential supply of missiles to the Houthis, especially in light of recent Houthi strikes on Israel. Observers are worried about Iran's role in exacerbating the regional tensions, further complicating an already volatile situation.
