Ships withdraw from Bab al-Mandeb after Saudi blockade
The news reports a decline of at least nine ships avoiding passage through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait following Saudi Arabia's announcement of its blockade. Among these are ships carrying oil from Yanbu. This comes amid an escalation in military tensions, with the Houthis issuing maritime warnings to vessels not to comply with the armed forces' directives, and U.S. sanctions targeting southern Iranian provinces such as Hormozgan, Bushehr, and Khuzestan, with reports of an explosion in Jask. The reports also highlight an escalation between Iran and the United States, with Iran issuing stern threats of a decisive response to any attack.
