they just blew up that saudi pipeline. cant transit anything like that

I feel like you’re missing the point entirely.

Bab-el-Mandeb is the southern gate of the Red Sea. Suez is the northern gate. You don’t need to own both doors to trap someone in the hallway - you just need to lock one. If the Houthis can effectively close Bab-el-Mandeb, they control whether ships can transit the Red Sea at all, which means they control the Suez route’s viability by default. That’s called chokepoint leverage, not “complete control of the whole Red Sea.”

Nobody said they planted a flag in Suez. They don’t have to. Egypt can own the canal all day - if the southern exit is a shooting gallery, the canal is a dead end.

So yes: technically you’re correct. Strategically, you’re arguing a distinction without a difference.

This just unfolded late last week. Whatvdo you mean they didn’t achieve it? It happened thursday. They are now sitting on a 20 km wide corridor and can surely stop whomever they want. They have all the same drones as Iran.

There is no Info - that’s why im saying there seems to be. a media coverup.

‘A f***-up of epic proportions’: Blame game begins after Iran-backed Houthis’ lightning advance down Red Sea coast

US Navy Adm. Brad Cooper flew to the kingdom overnight Thursday as Yemen’s Riyadh-backed forces crumbled in the face of a lightning Houthi offensive

Houthis took critical chokepoint out of red sea that they couldn’t do for many years and now can effectively close it just like Iran closed other one- with very little effort needed. That effectively controls Suez passage

Not my project I don’t know. But lemmy world recommends it so I presume it’s all kosher

Oh it’s not my project. I don’t know. But lemmy world uses it
