The announcement raises concerns over maritime security in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, where Houthi forces have previously targeted commercial vessels. The blockade could escalate tensions between the Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which leads a military coalition opposing the group in Yemen's prolonged conflict.
