Iranian arms and advice helped Yemen's Houthis seize key Red Sea city, sources say

Houthis seized the port of Mocha, strengthening their grip on the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait — a key shipping lane whose disruption could squeeze global trade and energy supplies.
Reuters says Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have been advising and supplying the Houthis to open a new front against the U.S. and its allies, though Tehran publicly denies direct control.
Saudi‑backed government forces are focused on northern fronts and have so far offered limited strikes on the coast, leaving uncertainty over who will control the Red Sea route.
