Houthi militia declares naval blockade of Saudi Arabia
The Houthis in Yemen announced the immediate imposition of a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, as part of an escalation in security measures driven by Iranian demands, according to their spokesperson Yahya Saree. The militia threatened retaliatory escalation in response to any steps taken by the Saudi side, warning of a comprehensive escalation as a countermeasure to what they described as a "blockade-to-blockade" policy. This move follows reports indicating that Iran has asked the Houthis to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, through which 12% of global oil supplies pass, should the United States target Iranian energy facilities. The escalation coincides with increased military activity and signals attempts to limit Iran's influence in the region.
