Anti-imperialist actions[edit | edit source]
On 31 October 2023, Ansar Allah began strikes against Zionist ships in the Red Sea, including a Norwegian oil tanker delivering oil to the Zionist Entity.[4]

Although Ansar Allah is an independent group, it has political and media support from Iran. It is strongly opposed to Zionism and supports the governments of Syria and Venezuela against Western aggression.[1]
