US Faces New Military Challenge as Houthis Threaten Red Sea Blockade

Washington. The US faces a new military challenge as Yemen-based Iran-backed Houthi rebels have warned of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea.

According to US officials, if the Houthis implement their warning, it will further spread the US-Iran war and put great pressure on US military resources. Houthi rebels announced on Monday that they will not allow any ship to load or unload oil at Saudi Arabian ports.
