Houthis warn against targeting ships to Saudi ports
The Yemeni Houthi group, allied with Iran, announced the imposition of a blockade on maritime navigation in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, including the prohibition of ships from loading or unloading cargo at Saudi ports. The group confirmed that any such activity would expose the offending vessels to sanctions and threats of targeting, amid escalating threats that could lead to the closure of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, the main shipping channel south of the Red Sea. This development poses a serious threat to energy supplies and global commerce. The new restrictions took effect on July 20, 2026, amid warnings that this could open a new front against Saudi Arabia and the United States, potentially deepening crises in the Gulf region and impacting the global economy.
