Iran Instructs Houthis to Prepare Red Sea Shipping Attacks

Iran has directed Yemen's Houthi rebels to get ready to disrupt shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb strait if the U.S. proceeds with threats to attack Iranian infrastructure. This strategic move could severely impact global maritime trade routes, particularly oil shipments, adding to international tensions. The potential closure of this vital passage highlights the escalating risks in the region amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts. The implications could lead to significant disruptions in global supply chains and energy markets.
