Houthi Forces in Horn of Africa Aim to Encircle Bab al-Mandab
The article addresses Iran's security and terrorist threats along the Red Sea shores, particularly through an ongoing threat network involving the Houthi movement and the Awrf tribes in the Horn of Africa. Intelligence reports indicate that Iran is exploiting marginalized communities, such as the Awrf tribe, to recruit and train individuals in boat operation and maritime sabotage, with the aim of controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and turning it into an Iranian black channel. This poses a significant threat to regional and international security. The article highlights that these moves represent an attempt to elevate the conflict into a new phase of security threats, as Iran and its Houthi proxy seek to establish a complex system of smuggling activities and military training along the African coast. Their goal is to control key shipping lanes and achieve geopolitical influence over the Red Sea.
