Houthi-style threat at Bab al-Mandab: oil transit at risk after Hormuz

A militant group described as 'Army in Slippers' has arrived at the Bab al-Mandab Strait, threatening to restrict oil transport through the Red Sea, following similar threats at the Strait of Hormuz. The claim is sourced from a single Czech outlet and lacks corroboration, but if credible, it would compound energy supply risks. The development signals potential escalation in maritime chokepoint disruptions, with direct implications for global oil prices.
