Iran asks Houthis to prepare Red Sea blockade if US targets power infra: Report
Iran has instructed the Houthis to prepare for a blockade of the Red Sea if the United States targets its power infrastructure, according to reports. This potential disruption could exacerbate the global energy crisis, already heightened by Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about one-fifth of global energy supplies. Should the Houthis proceed with the blockade, it would threaten international shipping and escalate tensions in the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
