Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have seized Greater and Lesser Hanish islands in the southern Red Sea, strengthening their grip over territory surrounding the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The latest gains follow the capture of Mokha and Mayun, positioning the rebels closer to key maritime routes and a U.S. military base in Djibouti. The advances could threaten Saudi oil shipments and international shipping while increasing pressure on global energy supplies, as Saudi-backed Yemeni forces attempt to counter the Houthi offensive. #Houthis #Yemen #RedSea #BabElMandeb #Iran #SaudiArabia #USMilitary #RedSeaCrisis #ShippingCrisis #OilPrices #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #YemenWar #BreakingNews Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
