הערכה

Saudi Arabia and Yemeni government forces have retaken the Bab al-Mandab strait using around 100 fighter jets, pushing the Houthis back from the strategic chokepoint. The Houthis withdrew but retain the ability to threaten shipping lanes from a distance, meaning the strait's security remains fragile. This is a significant military shift in control of a waterway critical for global oil and trade routes, but not a permanent resolution.
