The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan argues the continued Houthi expansion of control in the Red Sea may be an “unmitigated disaster”. “The American military under Trump has got a certain amount of traffic going back through the Strait of Hormuz,” Mr Sheridan told News24. “The other big source of oil from that region is the Red Sea, and the Houthis now effectively control the Red Sea. “If the Houthis, at Iranian command, at some stage decide to end the Red Sea as a route for oil, that’s another 7 per cent of global energy. “It’s very bad for the whole global economy to have such massive disruption to energy supplies.”
