Houthis seize Yemen's Red Sea coast, tighten grip on Bab al-Mandeb

Houthi forces have advanced to seize Yemen's Red Sea coastline, consolidating control over the Bab al-Mandeb strait. This strengthens Iran's leverage in its confrontation with the US, as the strait is a critical chokepoint for global maritime trade. The move escalates regional tensions and raises the risk of disruption to shipping lanes.
