Yemeni Houthi forces have seized the key Red Sea port city of Mocha following a lightning advance down Yemen's coast. According to sources, the operation was facilitated by direct guidance and arms from Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
The capture of Mocha strengthens the Houthis' control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This strategic development raises the possibility of opening a new front in the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
