00:00Meanwhile, as the Houthi-Saudi war continues to escalate, the Houthis have started capturing
00:03even more areas. The key strategic sea route in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait is now under Houthi
00:08control. This includes the city of Mocha and its port, which were under the control of the
00:11Yemeni government until just two days ago. And today, another important port city, Dubaab,
00:16has also come under Houthi control. Along with this, the Houthis have established their control
00:19over several small and large islands in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, including the strategically
00:23important island of Parham. And now, the Houthis are also rapidly advancing further toward the
00:28southern entrance of the Red Sea. All of this is happening at a time when, according to reports,
00:32more than 100 senior Iranian IRGC commanders and military experts have arrived in Yemen,
00:36where they are guiding and supporting the Houthis. But the bad news doesn't stop there.
00:40One drone, reportedly coming from the direction of Iraq, has hit Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline.
00:44The important east-west pipeline has now been shut down. The Strait of Hormuz is already closed.
00:49Saudi Arabia used this pipeline to transport its oil to the Red Sea, from where it could then be
00:53exported. And along with all of this, crude oil prices in the international market have now reached
00:57$104 per barrel.
