CNN reports Iran working in Yemen to close Bab-el-Mandeb.*

Posted on September 10, 2026 at 05:15:50 PM by gbmcq

CNN previously reported that Iran had been plotting an economic “nuclear option” if negotiations with the US fall apart: getting the Houthis to close the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.

US officials now believe hundreds of IRGC officers are in Yemen, working alongside the Houthis, with the goal of ultimately doing just that, per one official.
