🚨 Are the Houthis turning the Red Sea into an independent battlefield?

Even if U.S.-Iran tensions ease in the Strait of Hormuz, Yemen's conflict threatens to become a sustained second front—disrupting global maritime trade and Saudi oil routes indefinitely.

Read Zvi Bar'el's analysis on the strategic shift from Hormuz to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait: https://www.thelevantfiles.org/2026/09/from-hormuz-to-red-sea-how-yemens.html

#Serbian diplomat: #Israel’s recognition of #Somaliland was more than a diplomatic move. It opened new geopolitical front at the crossroads of #RedSea & #GulfOfAden — where #Security, #Iran, #Yemen, #MaritimeTrade, #Energy & #Sovereignty increasingly collide.

#Somaliland’s #BerberaAirbase could become a pivotal strategic asset in the #HornOfAfrica — potentially strengthening ties with #US, #UAE & #Israel while serving as a deterrent against regional threats & reshaping the #Geopolitics of #RedSea & #GulfOfAden.

@bluewitchgwen I'd discounted the Layla because its last data dump was days ago and I rather presumed it had moved on. But given the distance from shore, etc., this is most likely the ship reported afire after missile attack.

(The Houthis have claimed responsibility for attacks on Layla and Enceilia. Enceilia is much closer to shore, as can be seen in these map grabs.)
