Tariq Saleh's forces secure Bab al-Mandab
The National Resistance Forces confirm that they have full control over the areas overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and are working to protect this vital maritime corridor from Houthi threats. The Houthis have announced a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia and have threatened to target ships. The statements indicate that the Houthis are currently limited to launching missile and drone attacks and are not capable of completely shutting down the strait. The strait, which is one of the world's most important trade and energy routes, remains a key area of regional tension, with concerns about how Houthi escalation could impact shipping movements and oil prices—especially amid tensions between the United States and Iran. There is growing alarm that an expansion of Houthi attacks could lead to significant economic and security disruptions.
