Reports indicate that the Yemeni Houthi group is threatening to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and launch attacks against U.S. interests in the region if the United States intervenes militarily to support Saudi Arabia or attempts to control the strait. A senior advisor to the Houthis’ Ministry of Defense stated that the movement would consider U.S. interests in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden as legitimate targets and would respond decisively, warning against the entry of American fleets into the area. The Houthis also confirmed that they currently control Bab al-Mandeb and regard it as a "red line," and they are prepared to completely close the strait to the United States if the circumstances require, amid ongoing escalation of clashes in Yemen.
