Houthis plan Red Sea ship fees
Reports have indicated that the Houthis in Yemen are considering imposing fees on commercial ships passing through the southern Red Sea, particularly via the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, following a week after they announced a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia. Houthi officials discussed with their Iranian counterparts during their visit to Iran in July the possibility of implementing these fees to strengthen revenue collection from maritime passages and to increase pressure on the United States. Sources confirmed that China would be exempt from these fees, and the Houthis have expressed support for this move, engaging in direct talks with China to enable its ships to pass through the area without threat or obstruction. A specific timeline for execution has not yet been determined. This escalation occurs amid ongoing tensions in the Red Sea and the wider region.
