Iran’s proxies threaten Red Sea attacks to pressure the West
TL;DR Summary
Iran and its Yemen-based Houthi allies have warned they could target Red Sea shipping, potentially locking the Bab el-Mandeb strait and disrupting routes that carry about 10% of the world’s oil and 20% of containers, as U.S. actions against Iran intensify. The Houthis released a threatening video and said all options are on the table, signaling a broader asymmetric warfare tactic against Gulf partners, with analysts noting the region’s shipping chokepoints are a key leverage point and oil prices have risen amid the tension.
