Rebelii Houthi au preluat controlul asupra strâmtorii Bab el-Mandeb

Houthi rebels have taken control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait after capturing Mayyun Island, impacting maritime routes crucial for global trade. The group has also seized the city of Dhubab and the coastal village of Murad, consolidating their control over Yemen's Red Sea coast. This offensive follows a series of rapid military actions, including the capture of the strategic port city Mokha. The situation raises concerns about potential disruptions to oil trade, as Houthi forces may impose a toll on maritime traffic. Iran's involvement and support for the Houthi rebels complicate the regional dynamics, with calls for negotiations and an end to the blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia.
