Yemen's Houthis stated that maritime navigation remains safe for all ships except Saudi vessels. Military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the position on Telegram.⁣
⁣
Government sources told Reuters that Houthi forces reached Perim Island in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait after Saudi-backed Yemeni forces withdrew. ⁣
⁣
The Houthis also seized the nearby coastal town of Dhubab, expanding control over key Red Sea shipping lanes.⁣
⁣
Control of the strait could give Iran a strategic advantage in its conflict with the US by threatening a secondary oil transit corridor, potentially spiking global oil prices. ⁣
⁣
Saudi Arabia has depended on this route since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.⁣
