🇾🇪 The Houthis are now threatening to shut down the Bab el-Mandeb strait if U.S. strikes on Iran continue.
10% of global trade flows through that chokepoint.
They've done it before. They grounded shipping lanes for months in 2024 and forced reroutes adding weeks and millions per vessel. The capability is real.
The message to Washington is simple: keep bombing Iran, and we raise the cost for the entire global economy. Not just the U.S. The world.
That's a significant amount of leverage for a group operating out of one of the poorest countries on earth.
