Iran has reportedly instructed Yemen’s Houthi movement to remain on standby to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait if the United States launches strikes on Iranian power infrastructure. According to Reuters, Iranian and regional sources said the proposal has been discussed within Tehran’s leadership and communicated to the Houthis. A source close to the group claimed missiles and drones have been positioned near the strategic waterway, with forces awaiting orders to target shipping if tensions escalate. Any disruption at Bab el-Mandeb could threaten global energy supplies and intensify instability across the Middle East and international shipping routes.
