Houthii controlează Marea Roșie. O treime din comerțul mondial, sub amenințare

Houthi rebels have seized control of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, impacting global maritime trade. This strategic area sees 10-12% of the world's shipping traffic. Following the capture of Perim Island and Mokha port, oil prices surged to $105 per barrel. Europe is particularly vulnerable, relying on this route for goods from Asia. The situation raises concerns over supply chain disruptions and increased costs for consumers. Saudi Arabia has requested U.S. military intervention against the Houthis, while the EU condemned the attacks and has a defensive naval mission in the region. The Yemeni government aims to reclaim lost territories.
