Houthi forces completed a rapid advance along Yemen’s Red Sea coast in early September 2026, seizing the port of Mocha, Perim Island, and surrounding positions that place the Bab el-Mandeb Strait under their direct control. This followed their July declaration of a maritime ban targeting Saudi-linked vessels amid renewed fighting with Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces. Shipping data show transits through the strait have fallen sharply—roughly halved in recent days and down 15-40 percent since the blockade announcement—with selective enforcement, insurance withdrawals, and rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope for many operators. Houthis maintain that navigation remains open and orderly for non-targeted vessels, while Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and others have called for unrestricted passage. Ongoing clashes, Houthi missile and drone activity, and the broader regional conflict continue to shape trader assessments of whether traffic volumes constitute an effective closure.
