Houthi adviser threatens US interests over Bab al-Mandab intervention

A Houthi military adviser warned that any US military intervention in Yemen or attempt to seize the Bab al-Mandab strait would cross a red line, prompting attacks on US interests in the Middle East. The threat escalates rhetoric amid ongoing Red Sea shipping tensions, though it remains a stated intention rather than an observed action. This signals potential for direct US-Houthi confrontation, with implications for global shipping and regional stability.
