Is the United States stealing oil belonging to Iraq amid the Iran war? Yemen-based Houthis called for an economic boycott of Western and Israeli products. Ansarallah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi accused American companies of “plundering” Iraq’s oil wealth while ordinary Iraqis continue to struggle economically. Al-Houthi claimed foreign corporations are benefiting from Iraq’s energy resources before the Iraqi people themselves see any gains. He also urged Muslims to expand economic boycotts, arguing that purchasing Western goods strengthens nations he described as hostile to the Islamic world.
