Houthis Escalate Threats, Call Bab al-Mandab a 'Red Line' Amid New Warnings to Marib
The group threatens to target American interests if Washington supports Saudi Arabia and issues fresh ultimatum to the city of Marib.
The Houthi group escalated its threats on multiple fronts Wednesday, vowing to target American interests in the region should Washington provide support to Saudi Arabia, while declaring the Bab al-Mandab Strait a "red line" that must not be crossed.
According to the statement, the group simultaneously issued a fresh ultimatum to the city of Marib, demanding it surrender to the group or face what it described as "war and destruction." The group characterized its position as "one body" with Iran, in reference to the alliance between the two parties.
These statements come amid ongoing regional tensions linked to the war in Yemen and broader regional instability, with no official response yet issued by concerned parties to these threats.
