Iran-backed Houthis have taken control of the Red Sea coast and strategic islands, threatening the Bab al-Mandab chokepoint critical for global trade. This escalation, combined with drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline, has reduced oil supply by 4%, driving Brent crude above $108 and WTI past $103 per barrel.
