The Iranian ally seizes Yemen’s Red Sea coast, cementing their hold on the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
The advance of the Houthis along Yemen’s Red Sea coast has raised fears of a second front in the war between the United States and Iran.
And it has put Saudi Arabia – the main ally of Yemen’s internationally recognised government – in a difficult spot.
