- Houthi forces attacked a ship near Bab al-Mandeb, killing six people according to Yemen's government, per Al Jazeera and CNBC
- Iran vowed to close the Strait of Hormuz until the US lifts sanctions, and Trump publicly rejected Tehran's demands, per Fox News and CNBC
Why it matters: The two incidents converge on the same Iran-linked axis of disruption: Bab al-Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz sit on opposite ends of one critical oil-shipping corridor, so simultaneous threats from Iranian-backed forces and Tehran itself compound pressure on global maritime traffic.
