Iran-backed Houthis seize Perim Island. What's next?
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have captured the strategic Perim Island in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a crucial global shipping route. This follows their capture of the port town of Mocha and potentially expands Iran's influence over shipping lanes. The development has raised global concerns about its impact on shipping, oil prices, and the risk of escalating the US-Iran conflict.
The seizure of Perim Island allows the Houthis to exert greater control over shipping in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, mirroring Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz and posing a significant threat to global trade and oil prices.
