Ansarollah ("Houthi") leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi says his forces are acting defensively in the latest round of conflict in Yemen, accusing Saudi Arabia of initiating the escalation.

In an address, al-Houthi said Ansarollah ("Houthi") forces are targeting Saudi military sites and oil infrastructure while acting according to what he described as Islamic and ethical principles.

He accused Saudi-led forces of carrying out indiscriminate attacks in Yemen during the more than decade-long conflict, including strikes on homes and marketplaces. Al-Houthi also condemned what he called a “siege” restricting the import of food and medicine into Yemen.

He rejected claims that Ansarollah ("Houthi") forces targeted Mecca, describing the allegation as false, and said his people were defending themselves.

AnsarUllah, AnsarOllah, or AnsarAllah ?

Western search are one big propaganda bubble, so I don't know which site-urls and terms are US propaganda or legit local/revolutionary urls/words. It seems as 'Ansar' is 'helper'/'supporter' and 'Allah' is what their revolution supports - so 'Supporters of Allah' -> 'Ansar Allah' seems logical to me ?

What do they call themselves, and where do the other versions come from ?

I assume other versions are from the difficulty of putting something not in English into English, sometimes the sound doesn't have an exact translation amd.they go for.somethign similar.

The question here is this propaganda aimed at discrediting them or lifting them up or it is just a translation issue?

I'm pretty sure the ("Houthi") part is (part of) propaganda, so I would take their pronounciation of Ansarullah with a big grain of salt.

Ive been happy to pronounce it and spell it the way Presstv.ir does. Being an Iranian government backed English language news site I trust it to do this translation without adding in propaganda
