## Resource

Houthis strike again—now controlling Yemen’s entire Red Sea coast and three strategic islands, including Mayyun in the heart of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital chokepoint for global trade. With hundreds dead in a week of brutal fighting, their grip on key shipping lanes threatens to cripple oil flows and escalate regional chaos. Saudi Arabia’s oil pipeline shutdown is just the latest blow in a war that’s already displaced millions and now feels poised for even greater disruption.
