Succese militare ale unui aliat al Iranului. „Tot ce era sub controlul nostru pe coasta de vest a căzut”

The Houthi militias, backed by Iran, have taken control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coast, including strategic islands in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. A Yemeni government official stated that all areas previously under their control have fallen. The Houthis launched a rapid offensive last week towards the strait, a crucial maritime route for international trade. They claimed navigation is safe for all except Saudi vessels, which are banned from access. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait is vital for Saudi Arabia, especially after Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict in Yemen has escalated again since July, following Saudi airstrikes on Houthi targets.
