Houthi official denies Red Sea shipping threats amid ongoing tensions

Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam claims Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb navigation is not threatened, contradicting recent attacks on commercial vessels. The denial appears aimed at de-escalating rhetoric, but actual Houthi military actions continue to pose risks. This is a notable softening of messaging, though credibility is low given prior strikes.
