Houthis Seize Yemeni Port City with Iranian Advisers' Help
The Houthi group seized the key Yemeni port city of Mokha on September 10, with Iranian advisers reportedly assisting in the operation. Residents reportedly left the city overnight, allowing the Houthis to enter unopposed. The seizure of nearby strategic islands has enhanced the Houthis' ability to target Saudi oil shipments in the Red Sea. The Houthis' actions are seen as an escalation against Saudi Arabia, with discussions on the implications for U.S.-Iran relations and the potential for China to be supplying the Houthis, who are threatening global oil.
