- A new threat by Yemen’s Houthis could widen the Iran war and put another trade chokepoint at risk
Yemen’s Houthi rebels threaten to blockade Saudi Arabia by targeting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a critical global trade chokepoint, in retaliation for a Saudi blockade on Yemen and an attack on Sanaa’s airport. The rebels claim to have attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, escalating tensions that could disrupt 12% of global trade and exacerbate the Iran war’s impact on oil supplies.
