🇺🇸 🇮🇷 DANGER: ARE THE HOUTHIS A SERIOUS RISK TO OIL TRAFFIC IN THE RED SEA?! They've already proven they are. Yemen's Iranian - backed Houthis declared a maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia. In two weeks, Saudi crude loadings through the Bab el - Mandeb collapsed 36% - from 9.5 million to 6.1 million barrels daily. They're already attacking tankers. Saudi Arabia was using the Red Sea as an escape route because Iran blocked Hormuz. Seventy percent of their crude exports now move through this strait. Two tanker attacks forced them to halt all shipments temporarily. The Bab el - Mandeb carries 12% of global maritime trade. A full Houthi closure cuts global oil supply by 7%. Combined with the Hormuz blockade, that's a quarter of global oil and gas at risk. This is Iran squeezing two chokepoints at once. Can we protect the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea?

Saudi Arabia has launched retaliatory strikes against Houthi targets after attacks on Saudi-linked shipping in both the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb. Among the reported targets were Houthi telecommunications facilities in Hodeidah. The Houthis have threatened further attacks on Saudi Arabia, but Saudi aircraft reportedly completed their mission and returned safely despite attempted Houthi surface-to-air missile launches.

🚨🇾🇪🔥 Iran-backed Houthi forces have captured the strategic port city of Al-Mokha and seized roughly 2,600 km² of territory across western Yemen in a rapid coastal offensive, marking one of the fastest territorial shifts in the conflict in years. The advance pushed through western Taiz and southern Al-Hudaydah, with Saudi-backed government forces and Tariq Saleh’s National Resistance Forces retreating across a broad front. Houthi forces reportedly captured Hays, Al-Khawkhah, Al-Wazi’iyah, Mawza and the strategically important Khalid ibn al-Walid military camp before taking Al-Mokha, the government’s principal port and military hub on this stretch of the Red Sea coast. The city lies only around 60–75 km north of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and had remained under government and coalition control since early 2017. 🔥 The strategic implications are enormous. Reuters says the Houthis aim to control the entire Red Sea coastline, and taking Al-Mokha brings them substantially closer to Bab el-Mandeb, one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints. With shipping through the Strait of Hormuz already severely disrupted, any further Houthi expansion toward Bab el-Mandeb could place even greater pressure on global trade, energy exports and the Europe-Asia shipping corridor.

The Houthis are advancing in western Yemen and moving closer to Mocha and Zubab — cities near the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait According to Reuters, their goal is to establish control over the entire Red Sea coastline. If the Houthis seize control of the area around the strait, it would create a new threat to global maritime trade. Bab el-Mandeb connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and is a key shipping route between Europe and Asia. Disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have made its role in global trade even more important.

‼️‼️🇸🇦🇾🇪 BREAKING | Saudi Arabia is reportedly preparing a large-scale military offensive against the Houthi movement in Yemen following recent attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure and the group's blockade of Saudi maritime shipping, according to The Guardian. 🔹 The reported plans could include both naval operations in the Red Sea and a ground offensive into central Yemen, marking what could become one of the Kingdom's largest military campaigns in years. 📍 The reported preparations come after the Houthis intensified attacks on Saudi energy facilities and expanded efforts to disrupt maritime traffic, further escalating tensions across one of the world's most strategically important waterways.
