Houthi forces completed a rapid advance in early September 2026, seizing Yemen’s full Red Sea coastline including the ports of Mokha and Dhubab plus Perim and Hanish islands that overlook the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This has given the group de facto control over the chokepoint, halving daily vessel transits to roughly 15 crossings amid an announced embargo on Saudi-linked shipping. Saudi Arabia and Egypt have publicly demanded uninterrupted navigation and signaled potential countermeasures, while Houthis maintain that commercial traffic remains safe and orderly outside targeted vessels. Regional tensions tied to the broader Iran-related conflict have further elevated insurance costs and prompted widespread rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope. UN Security Council discussions and any Saudi military response or additional territorial shifts could quickly alter traffic volumes and market assessments of effective closure.
