British Newspaper Reports Iran's Plan to Strengthen Control Over Bab el-Mandeb Strait
The British Telegraph newspaper has revealed that Iran is working to expand its influence in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait through its regional allies, with the aim of strengthening its ability to affect one of the world's most important maritime passages, similar to its influence in the Strait of Hormuz. The moves include increased coordination between the Houthi movement and the Somali Al-Shabaab to increase their influence in the region, potentially using this as leverage in the event of rising regional tensions. The report also showed that the Houthis are transferring drone technology on Iran's behalf and rely on an internal organizational structure to ensure leadership continuity, with Abdul Malik al-Houthi appointing a family member as a potential successor in case of his death, as part of a preparedness plan for possible confrontations.
