Houthis Open New War Front: Red Sea At Risk As West Asia Conflict Spirals
The West Asia conflict is entering a far more dangerous phase. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis have intensified attacks on Israel, opening a new front and raising fears of a wider regional war.
From the strategic Bab-el-Mandeb Strait to critical global trade routes, the escalation threatens energy supplies, shipping lanes, and regional stability. With missile and drone capabilities expanding, the Houthis now pose a direct risk to oil infrastructure, ports, and military bases across the Gulf.
As the United States stretches its military resources and Israel faces mounting pressure on its air defences, Iran's strategic leverage appears to be growing. The situation could further draw in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, risking a broader confrontation.
Will this escalation trigger a full-scale regional war? And what does it mean for global trade and security?
Watch the full report.
