Houthi control Gate of Tears

por Not A Newt: Saudi Arabia

The Houthis are holding the 'Gate of Tears' strait, which handles 40% of global container traffic, and that status isn't expected to change. This control gives them a second key waterway for global trade while they maintain gains in Yemen against groups backed by Saudi Arabia. The situation remains favorable for the Houthis as they defend their position. They also issued a chant declaring the fate of the Al Saud family will be submission and humiliation in Yemen after claiming to have shot down a Saudi F-15 aircraft.
