'Close Red Sea Gateway If US Hits Our Power Plants': Iran Asks Houthis in Yemen - Report

Reports indicate that Iran has requested the Houthi movement in Yemen to prepare for blocking the Red Sea oil route. This action is proposed as a response if US-led strikes continue to target Iranian power infrastructure and energy sites. According to sources cited by Reuters, Iranian officials have informed the Houthis of this request. Such a strategy could potentially destabilize global energy markets, increase maritime tensions, and prolong existing geopolitical conflicts within the region.
