Houthis Seize Perim Island – LIVE Breaking News Coverage (with Iran & Saudi Arabia Updates)

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have reportedly seized Perim Island, a key island in the Bab al-Mandab Strait off the coast of Yemen. This puts the Houthis in position to exert major control over the strategic strait and the Red Sea. Get the latest on the Houthi advance (including the seizure of Perim Island), plus updates on Saudi Arabia (including an apparent attack on the East-West Pipeline) and Iran, in our live breaking news coverage.

Perim Island, also called Mayyun, sits in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a strategic, narrow waterway through which a large amount of oil and other goods are shipped internationally as they exit the Red Sea. The Houthis, who are supported by Iran, have reportedly taken control of Perim Island today. This island, along with new coastal territory in western Yemen the Houthis have taken in the past two days during their advance, will allow the Houthis to exert a great degree of control over shipping through the strait. Oil prices have risen this week, partially in response to the Houthi gains. Also today, in Saudi Arabia, damage is reported to pumping stations that are part of the important East-West Pipeline system. In this interactive live stream, host Steve Lookner brings you the latest updates on the Houthi advance, including the seizure of Perim Island, as well as developments in Saudi Arabia and the Iran war, and he’ll also read your comments and questions on the air!
