Presiune. Houthi joacă la intimidare în Strâmtoarea Bab el-Mandeb
Houthi attacks on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait threaten to worsen the oil crisis stemming from the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing conflict between the US and Iran has disrupted global trade routes, leading to rising oil prices and increased uncertainty in the markets. Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has redirected Saudi oil exports to Bab el-Mandeb, which is now under threat from Houthi rebels. If Bab el-Mandeb is also blocked, it could significantly impact global oil supply and prices. Saudi Arabia is forming an international alliance to protect the Red Sea, but the long-term effectiveness of this security pact remains uncertain.
