🇾🇪🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱Iran-Backed Houthis Threaten Key Red Sea Chokepoint Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are threatening to blockade the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a critical global trade artery. The threat specifically targets all commercial and military vessels, including aircraft carriers, associated with the United States and Israel. Closure of this strategic chokepoint, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, would severely disrupt international shipping and the flow of oil and gas between Europe and Asia. Houthi representative Abed al-Sour confirmed the threat, stating the measures would be taken in support of Iran against the US and Israel. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
