Yemeni sources: Houthis control Perim Island
Yemeni sources reported that the Houthi fighters, supported by Iran, have taken control of the Bourem Island in the Red Sea, located near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This is a strategic site that monitors vital maritime shipping routes for oil exports, thus enhancing the group's influence in an important waterway. The island holds significant importance amid the escalating Yemeni conflict, as Houthi control over it increases their ability to disrupt or monitor navigation, especially with the rising tensions between Iran and the United States in the region. Yemen has also become a potential theater for a broader conflict among regional and international powers.
