Yemen’s internationally recognized government has issued a stark warning over escalating tensions in the Red Sea, saying the Houthi movement is attempting to replicate Iran’s strategy of exerting pressure on global shipping lanes. Foreign Minister-designate Afrah al-Zouba said the group aims to turn the Bab al-Mandeb strait into a strategic chokepoint similar to the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of disruption to one of the world’s most critical maritime corridors. The remarks come amid growing concern that a perceived weak international response to previous attacks has emboldened the Houthis to pursue a more structured and assertive maritime pressure approach, with potential ripple effects on global trade, energy flows and regional security dynamics.
