Houthis and Iran Now Control Bab el-Mandeb and Hormuz Strait

According to reports from Al Arabiya, Houthis and Iran have established control over the Bab el-Mandeb and Hormuz Strait. The straits, vital for the movement of oil tankers and commercial freight, are now under the influence of these actors. The situation has raised alarms among global powers, with concerns over the potential disruption of international trade routes. The control of these straits is a direct consequence of ongoing military operations in the region. Al Arabiya reports that the Houthis, supported by Iran, have deployed naval forces and missile systems to secure these areas. No official statements have been released from the involved parties confirming the extent of their control, though the implications are clear.
