Houthis Attack Saudi Airport Minutes After Iranian Plane Bombing in Yemen

What was said

"The Bab al-Mandab will enter the chat. You think so already? You think already they'll use it? No, Mario, no. This is a possibility. They, uh, I already saw one, uh, video by one of the Ansar Allah leaders saying, yes, now the Bab al-Mandab will be a factor."

Yemen's Houthis launched ballistic missiles at Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia, hours after a Saudi-backed government bombed the runway at Sana'a Airport to prevent an Iranian Mahan Air flight from landing. The Iranian plane, carrying a Yemeni delegation returning from Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral, was forced to divert to Hodeida Airport. Escobar warns that Houthi leaders are now threatening to block the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which would create a naval triangle isolating Saudi Arabia and potentially driving oil to $200 per barrel.
