LIVE: Traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait
A vessel tracker shows traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait after Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said they were imposing a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, a move that opens a new front against the United States in its war on Iran and widens the threat to global energy supplies and trade beyond the Gulf.
Iran had been pressing the Houthis to close the Bab el-Mandeb gateway to the Red Sea if the U.S. continued to attack Iranian power infrastructure.
