Already multiple Saudi vessels have been targeted in the Red Sea region, forcing a number of tankers to U-turn, and now Yemen’s Houthis are seeking to introduce their own ‘toll system’ for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. According to more via Reuters:Yemen’s Houthi group is considering imposing fees on commercial ships sailing through the southern Red Sea, a week after declaring a naval blockade ​on Saudi Arabia, regional sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The pro-Saudi axis has said it recently obtained “confirmed intelligence” indicating that Iran’s IRGC were helping to manage the toll initiative. “The intelligence indicates that IRGC experts and advisers are directly involved in designing the technical and administrative framework of the project,” Eryani added. Eryani stated this would include “the establishment of a dedicated entity responsible for collecting payments from shipping companies and commercial vessels”.
