Houthi forces seize control of strategic Perim island in Yemen

In Yemen, the Houthi movement has taken control of the strategic island of Perim in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This development follows the withdrawal of Yemeni government forces from the island and the capture of the city of Dhubab. The situation has escalated tensions in the region, with Iran potentially gaining an advantage in its conflict with the United States. The ongoing violence has displaced around 46,000 people, prompting concerns over humanitarian conditions.
