Yemeni Leader: Iran Aims to Empower Houthis in Bab al-Mandab
The head of the Yemeni Leadership Council, Rashad al-Alimi, stated that Iran seeks to empower the Houthis to influence the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea region, following the Houthis' control of Al-Mokha city and the Grand and Small Hanish Islands. He explained that any threat to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait directly affects the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, and global trade, emphasizing that protecting the Yemeni coasts and regaining control over Yemeni lands and waters are shared international interests. It was also reported that the Houthis launched missile and attack operations against vital facilities, resulting in the death and injury of several sailors. Saudi support is contributing to economic reforms in Yemen, while tensions in the region are intensifying due to the escalation of military actions by the Houthis.
