Houthis issue ship warnings after navigation ban
The Houthis in Yemen have sent warning messages to ships following their announcement of a navigation ban on Saudi vessels. The ships were notified via radio messages from the Yemeni Navy after their decision on July 20, 2026, to prevent Saudi ships from sailing due to the ongoing siege of Yemen. As a result, nine ships changed course and one was disabled to ensure compliance with the blockade, reflecting an escalation in the regional conflict that threatens to impact energy supplies and global trade—particularly with Iran preparing to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait if the United States launches an attack on Iran's infrastructure.
