Rebelii houthi din Yemen amenință că vor ataca interesele americane din regiune dacă Statele Unite sprijină Arabia Saudită sau intervin în strâmtoarea Bab el-Mandeb

A Houthi military advisor warned that U.S. interests in the region would be targeted if the U.S. supports Saudi Arabia or intervenes in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The advisor described any U.S. intervention as a "red line." The Strait is crucial for global trade, especially for Saudi oil exports. Following a period of relative calm, Yemen's conflict escalated in July, with Houthis advancing along the coast and attacking Saudi Arabia. U.S. President Trump reportedly declined to order airstrikes against the Houthis, while Saudi Arabia retaliated with strikes in Yemen but failed to halt Houthi advances.
