Iran urges Houthis to close Bab el-Mandeb Strait amid current tensions
Iran has asked the Houthi movement in Yemen to prepare to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea in the event of a potential U.S. attack on Iran's energy infrastructure. This issue was discussed within the Iranian leadership, and the Houthis loyal to Iran were informed of it—a move that threatens global energy supplies. It is not yet clear how or when the Houthis were notified, but the request comes amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, particularly following Trump’s threats to attack Iranian energy facilities.
