Tehran: (RightNow) Iran has instructed Yemeni Houthis to prepare for blocking Bab al-Mandab. Tehran has directed Houthis to close the strait if the US attacks Iranian power plants.

According to reports, Iranian leadership conveyed this message to the Houthis after deliberation. Houthis have installed missiles and drones near Bab al-Mandab. Two days ago, the US President threatened to attack Iranian power plants.

Experts say the involvement of Houthis is significant as they control the international trade route in the Red Sea. The potential closure of the Red Sea, after the Strait of Hormuz, could impact the global economy.

This conflict could obstruct global trade routes, posing a risk of economic crisis. The closure of the Red Sea could affect global oil supply.

It is noteworthy that the Yemeni Houthi group is Iran’s closest ally and can influence global trade. The rising tension between Iran and the US could further escalate the situation.
