Houthi Leader Urges Marib Surrender
A senior Houthi military adviser threatened the United States if it intervenes to support Saudi Arabia or attempts to seize the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is controlled by the Houthis. He warned of blocking all shipping passages and turning the strait into a minefield if necessary. He confirmed that the Houthis would target all American and economic interests in the region, including the Suez Canal and Aramco oil company, should the United States engage militarily. This escalation comes amid escalating tensions between the Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia, following the seizure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in September, with mutual threats and hints of field cooperation between the Houthis, Iran, and their allies in the region.
