Houthis Deploy Offensive Systems in Bab al-Mandeb
According to Yemeni military sources, the Houthi militias continue implementing a plan to militarize the Bab al-Mandab Strait under the supervision of Iranian Revolutionary Guard leaders. This involves deploying offensive systems, including missile platforms and drone launchers, in strategic locations near the waterway, thereby disrupting navigation in the Red Sea. The plan also includes establishing new military sites, deploying anti-ship missiles, and creating drone launch platforms on the elevated areas surrounding the Hodeidah ports and other locations within the strait region. The aim is primarily to target Saudi ships first, with later expansions to include Israeli, American, and other international vessels, according to the sources. This move is part of Iran's efforts to use the strait as leverage in its confrontation with the United States. Experts warn that these developments pose a threat to the security and stability of the region, especially in light of the Houthis’ escalating actions at their strategic positions and their attempts to seize important islands connected to the waterway.
