CAIRO,10 September, 2026 (Ghufran): Iran-aligned Houthis have seized control of Yemen’s port city of Mocha, according to Yemeni military sources, raising concerns over global energy supplies and international shipping. Four Yemeni government military sources said the Houthis had strengthened their position near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a major shipping route connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, and were launching attacks on the strategic Hanish Islands. The development comes hours after US President Donald Trump said he expected the war to end after the mid-term elections.
