Yemen's Houthi administration has warned that the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait could be shut if US President Donald Trump and what it called the "complicit world" do not end "all practices and policies that obstruct peace," as tensions escalate around multiple maritime chokepoints.
In a post on X, Houthi Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein al-Ezzi said: "If Sana'a decides to close the Bab al-Mandab, then all of mankind and jinn will be utterly powerless to open it."
