Iran requests Houthis to prepare for potential Bab al-Mandab Strait closure
Reuters reported that Iran has asked the Houthi movement in Yemen to prepare for closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the event the United States launches an attack on Iran's energy infrastructure. Sources indicated that the Houthis have completed their preparations to carry out attacks on shipping vessels and deployments near Bab al-Mandab, and that there is coordination between the Houthis and Iran on this matter. These developments come amid escalating tensions in the region, with Iranian threats to attack infrastructure in Iran and the Houthis increasing their attacks on Saudi Arabia, threatening the security of major trade routes in the Red Sea and raising the risk of disrupting regional oil exports.
