Italy boosts navy to safeguard commerce
The Italian Ministry of Defense announced that Rome is preparing to deploy a naval mission to protect its commercial fleet in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, due to increasing security risks resulting from the Houthi group, allied with Iran, controlling parts of the Yemeni coast overlooking the strait. The Defense Minister confirmed that the naval forces will take all necessary measures to ensure the safe passage of Italian ships, amid the worsening situation that could impact the global economy and consumers. This comes after growing concerns about navigation security in the Red Sea, especially following Houthi threats related to Saudi oil exports and the diversion of maritime routes away from the Strait of Hormuz.
