Iran has reportedly directed Yemen’s Houthi movement to prepare for the closure of the Red Sea oil route, a crucial global energy supply channel, in the event of a U.S. attack on Iranian power infrastructure.
Tehran has relayed this strategy to the Houthi allies, posing a significant new threat to global energy supplies. The Houthi group has reportedly finished preparations to assault shipping by positioning missiles and drones near Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Red Sea gateway, and is now waiting for the go-ahead, Reuters reported on Thursday.
