Ofensivă fulgerătoare a rebelilor Houthi în Yemen. După Strâmtoarea Ormuz, o altă rută maritimă vitală este în pericol
The Houthi rebels are rapidly expanding their control along Yemen's Red Sea coast, having captured the strategic port of Mocha. This advance brings them closer to the crucial Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key maritime route. The Houthis' recent territorial gains, including significant areas in a single day, could reshape regional dynamics and impact global oil transport. Control over Bab el-Mandeb would allow the Houthis to exert pressure on Saudi Arabia's oil exports and affect shipping costs and insurance premiums worldwide. The situation is escalating amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the U.S., raising concerns over global trade routes.
