Houthis: Bab al-Mandeb safe except Saudi ships
The Houthi group in Yemen, supported by Iran, has taken control of strategic locations along the Yemeni coast and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, including Bureim Island and the city of Al-Mokha, in an effort to bolster its influence in the Red Sea. The group announced that navigation is safe for all vessels except for Saudi ships, which remain under blockade following extensive military operations that resulted in the downing of nine Saudi aircraft and the reoccupation of six districts in Taiz and Hodeidah. This development poses a significant threat to global shipping and signifies Iran's expanding influence in a key maritime passage.
