Iranian-Backed Houthi Rebels Renew Attacks on Key Port City, and Other Mideast Developments
Yemen’s military said missiles and drones hit Mokha and Marib, killing at least seven people and deepening fears of renewed civil war.
- Iranian-Backed Houthi rebels renewed attacks on government-held areas in Yemen on Tuesday, striking Mokha and Marib with missiles and drones and threatening to reignite the country's civil war.
- With the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut down by Iran following February attacks, global attention has shifted to the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait as vital alternative shipping routes for oil.
- President Donald Trump claimed the United States has "100% control" of the Hormuz Strait and demanded compensation from Iran for past deaths, while the Navy maintains a blockade preventing Iranian oil sales.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized to German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul that securing the Hormuz Strait requires an end to United States naval blockades, as Tehran refuses to reopen the waterway without conditions.
- The Houthi attacks threaten to reignite Yemen's civil war after a four-year hiatus following a 2022 truce, potentially opening a new front in the Middle East war and raising concerns about regional stability.
