Houthi forces in Yemen have seized strategic positions along the Red Sea coast, including the port of Mokha, Perim Island, and the Hanish Islands, granting them control over the Yemeni shoreline and islands flanking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait by mid-September 2026. These advances followed the July breakdown of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire and a Houthi-declared embargo targeting Saudi-linked vessels, leading to strikes on tankers and a sharp drop in Saudi transits. Overall daily ship movements have fallen from pre-crisis averages near 30–50 to roughly 20–25, with some operators rerouting or disabling AIS, though non-Saudi commercial traffic persists and no formal closure has been declared. The situation ties into broader Red Sea disruptions stemming from the Iran conflict and Hormuz restrictions, with the UN highlighting risks to freedom of navigation while maritime data shows continued but reduced flows. Upcoming Saudi or international responses could alter enforcement dynamics.
