The Houthi advance on Yemen's Red Sea coast
Yemen's Red Sea crisis remains unresolved despite government claims of retaking Mokha and securing the Bab al-Mandeb waterway. Saudi Arabia has closed its East-West oil pipeline, an alternative route bypassing the strait, as the Houthis are reported to be tightening rather than loosening their grip on the corridor. The conflict continues to send refugees across the sea to Djibouti, and Iran has hailed the Houthi gains as reinforcing its own regional leverage against the US and Israel.
