Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have seized the strategic islands of Greater and Lesser Hanish in the southern Red Sea. The capture of these islands enhances the rebels' tactical position and ability to control a key maritime shipping route in the region.
Additional regional developments are unfolding alongside the territorial seizures. The Iranian government stated that Saudi Arabia was behind Oman’s decision to postpone a scheduled meeting.
