Houthi rebels in Yemen are threatening to block Saudi-linked shipping through the vital Bab el-Mandeb Strait — a chokepoint for 12% of global trade — in retaliation for Saudi actions and an airport attack. Though unconfirmed, they claim six ships have already rerouted. With tactics including mines, drones, and helicopters, the Houthis warn ships first, but threaten military action if ignored. A successful blockade could force vessels to detour around the Cape of Good Hope, massively increasing costs and delays — while risking renewed conflict and drawing Saudi retaliation.
