📣 British Newspaper: Yemen Is Seeking to Control Both Sides of the Red Sea 🔸 The Daily Telegraph claims that Yemen's Houthis are pursuing a strategy similar to Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz by extending their influence over the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the opposite shore of the Red Sea. 🔸 According to the report, the effort—aimed at increasing pressure on the global economy and the Trump administration—is being carried out in close coordination with Somalia to establish control over both sides of the strategic waterway. 🔸 The report also alleges that the Houthis are supplying drone technology to individuals in Somalia, effectively positioning themselves as a leading regional force. 🔸 It adds that the simultaneous closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, through which roughly 10–12% of global seaborne trade passes each year, could trigger a major shock to energy markets and drive oil prices as high as $200 per barrel. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

📣 Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters Spokesperson: Strike Our Infrastructure, and We Will Strike All Infrastructure Across the Region 🔸 "First, we reiterate once again: under no circumstances will Iran allow the United States—an extra-regional foreign power—to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz. This is Iran's inviolable red line." 🔸 "If the recent threats by the U.S. president to target the infrastructure of the Islamic Republic of Iran are carried out, then everything that has remained intact due only to Iran's restraint—all infrastructure across the region—will be crushed by the powerful blows of Iran's armed forces, leaving no trace behind." 🔸 "The enemy should understand this: for us, the moment of epic action is not the moment for restraint. The response of Iran's armed forces will not be proportional—it will be superior. The strikes will be more severe, more extensive, and more devastating than ever before. The fury of a nation that has never surrendered will engulf the aggressor." __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG
