Houthi military advances along Yemen’s Red Sea coast in September 2026, including captures of Mocha port, Perim Island, and the Hanish Islands, have positioned the group to monitor and potentially interdict traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key chokepoint for roughly one-tenth of global oil and container trade. Shipping data show transits already reduced by 20-50 percent from earlier peaks, with Saudi-linked tankers especially affected following the July blockade declaration and insurance restrictions. Houthi statements emphasize continued navigation for non-hostile vessels while clashes with Yemeni government forces persist near the strait. These developments, alongside broader regional tensions involving Iran and Saudi Arabia, underpin trader assessments of effective closure risk by year-end, though no blanket shutdown has occurred and volumes remain above zero.

As of September 18, Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz continued, while Houthis controlled Bab el-Mandeb, allowing navigation except for Saudi vessels. This selective blockade maintained transit above closure thresholds, influencing market pricing toward no full closure.
Houthi control over Bab el-Mandeb Strait solidified, raising closure risks
By late September 2026, Houthi forces controlled Yemen's entire Red Sea coastline, Perim Island, and the Hanish Islands, effectively controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This strategic dominance heightened fears of a prolonged closure, reflected in low transit volumes and market price declines.
