On July 16, Reuters reported that three sources revealed Iran has instructed the Houthi forces in Yemen to prepare for the possibility of closing the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait if the United States attacks Iranian power infrastructure, which would pose a new significant threat to global energy supplies. It is understood that this idea has been discussed within the Iranian leadership and has been communicated to Iran's Houthi allies. The sources indicated that the Houthis have recently been made aware of Tehran's request. However, the sources did not provide further details on how this request was communicated, nor did they specify whether it was made following Trump's threat to attack Iranian power infrastructure on Tuesday.
