Context
The Iran-backed Houthis seized control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coast and captured three strategic islands on Friday, in a lightning offensive that cemented their hold on a vital shipping corridor linking Europe and Asia. The developments are likely to deepen the Middle East war's impact on international commerce, months after the Strait of Hormuz was blockaded by Iran, which hailed its Yemeni allies' advance on Friday.
