NextFin News -- The political bureau of Yemen's Houthi militia Al-Buhaiti said that they may block Red Sea's Bab-el Mandeb Strait in support of Iran. Al-Buhaiti indicated that the Houthis are considering all possible options to support Iran in resisting military strikes from the United States and Israel. If it becomes necessary to close the Bab-el Mandeb Strait, the Houthis would only target vessels belonging to countries involved in attacks against Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine. The Bab-el Mandeb Strait connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, serving as a critical chokepoint that links the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean. It is often referred to as the "maritime corridor" connecting the continents of Eurasia and Africa.
