Gulf oil exports top pre-war levels as Yemen retakes Bab el-Mandeb Strait
Original: Gulf oil exports top pre-war levels as Saudi-backed Yemen retakes Bab el-Mandeb Strait from Houthis
Saudi-backed Yemeni forces have retaken the Bab el-Mandeb Strait from the Houthis, and Gulf oil exports have risen above pre-war levels as a result. The strait, a critical chokepoint for global shipping between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, had seen repeated Houthi attacks on vessels since the war began, disrupting energy flows. The recovery signals a major shift in the conflict and easing pressure on world oil markets.
Why now: The reported recapture of a vital shipping chokepoint and the rebound in oil exports mark a significant development in the Yemen war with global energy implications.
