RapplerUS-Israeli conflict with Iran, new front in the Iran war

On July 20, Yemen’s Houthi movement announced a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia, warning vessels transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and directing shipping companies to avoid Saudi ports. The announcement followed a July 13 strike on Sanaa International Airport, which Houthis attributed to Saudi forces and described as retaliation for a prolonged Saudi-led blockade of Yemeni ports. Saudi Arabia responded with airstrikes on Houthi facilities after prior missile and drone attacks.
