SANA’A: Yemen’s Houthis have threatened to close the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a key maritime route linking the Gulf of Aden with the Red Sea.
A deputy foreign minister of the Houthi administration in Sanaa said that Donald Trump should stop creating obstacles to peace.
The Bab al-Mandeb Strait is one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes, and any disruption could impact global trade flows.
The development comes amid rising regional tensions, with Iran maintaining strict control over the Strait of Hormuz, where commercial shipping activity has also been affected.
Iranian officials have indicated that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will remain unchanged until issues related to maritime movement are resolved.
