The Houthi Ansar Allah organization has taken control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Meyun Island in the strait, reflecting an expansion of its influence to one of the most important international maritime routes. This advance grants the group greater capability to monitor and secure navigation lines in the Red Sea, boosting its geopolitical position in the region—especially after controlling strategic areas along Yemen’s western coast, including the city of al-Mukha and important islands like Zukur, as well as besieging government forces on the Hanish Islands. The expansion appears to be a response to strategic plans that enable it to establish a direct military presence, amid warnings of the risks of escalating the regional and international security situation. Such developments threaten maritime security and global trade movement, while increasing Iran’s influence and that of its allies in a sensitive area of significant economic and military importance.
