The Houthi movement is pushing to model its control of the Red Sea on Iran’s dominance of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Yemen’s Foreign Minister.

Speaking in Riyadh, the minister stated that the Red Sea has become a new front in the Iran war.

The internationally recognised government of Yemen warned that this global complacency has emboldened the Houthi group.

Amid these developments, the Houthis have fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia.

The group also declared a blockade on Saudi shipping.
