Tehran Asked Houthis to Close Bab el-Mandeb Strait if Washington Targeted Power Grid, Reuters Reports
Reports indicate that Iran has asked the Houthis in Yemen to prepare for closing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea, as a possible retaliatory measure if the United States attacks Iran’s power grid. This option has recently been discussed within the Iranian leadership and communicated to the Houthis, possibly in connection with previous American threats to target Iranian infrastructure. Closing the strait, through which about 7% of global energy supplies pass, could worsen the international energy crisis, especially given the current closure of the Strait of Hormuz. A source close to the Houthis stated that the group is preparing to launch attacks on ships in the Red Sea, which could threaten shipping traffic and oil flow, with Iranian influence potentially controlling the timing of the closure.
