BREAKING: U.S. Ally Saudi In Shock As Iran-Linked Houthis Capture Strategic Red Sea Islands

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.
