Houthis advance on Red Sea coast
A report on the Houthis' progress along the Yemeni coast overlooking the Red Sea, where they have reached the Zukur Islands and the Greater and Lesser Hanish Islands, following their control of the city of Al-Mokha. This developments bolster their influence over the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The strait is considered one of the most important global maritime passages, and the Houthis now control strategic areas such as Dubuntu and the Perim Island, posing a threat to international shipping traffic passing through it and impacting global trade and energy supplies. This comes amid escalating clashes with the government forces supported by Saudi Arabia, with increasing risks of obstructing navigation, leading to higher shipping costs and delays in maritime routes. If the Houthis manage to establish broader control over Bab al-Mandab, it would grant them a strategic leverage point and strengthen Iranian influence in the region.
