Iran Using Houthis to Seize Control of Red Sea Routes, Yemen Envoy

Yemen’s envoy has accused Iran of using the Houthis to seek control of key Red Sea routes, raising concerns over regional security and maritime trade.

The allegation highlights growing tensions surrounding the strategic waterways, which are important for international shipping and regional commerce.

According to the envoy, Iranian support for the Houthis is linked to efforts to strengthen influence over the Red Sea and its vital maritime routes.

Any disruption or increased tensions in the area could have wider implications for shipping and regional stability.

The claim adds to ongoing concerns over the security of the Red Sea as regional actors continue to compete for strategic influence.
