Yemen’s Houthi rebels seized Perim Island in the Red Sea Friday, giving the militia expanded sway over the important Bab el-Mandeb strait. The island’s capture comes a day after the Houthis took another key Red Sea site—the port city of Mokha—from forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government. Media reports indicate the Houthis now exercise functional control over Yemen’s entire Red Sea coastline; many analysts fear this will allow the Iran-aligned group to throttle shipping through the waterway, which could send oil prices soaring even higher. The Houthis’ advance poses particular problems for Saudi Arabia, which exports much of its oil through the Red Sea and has been the principal international…Open

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) called President Trump twice Thursday, urging him to launch strikes against the Houthis as the Iran-backed group closed in on a vital Red Sea chokepoint, two U.S. officials told Axios. - Trump declined, and U.S. officials stressed the administration has no plans to intervene directly against the Houthis for now.
