Iran-aligned Houthis seize Yemen's Mocha port, advance toward strategic islands as Iranian strikes damage US aircraft in Jordan

Iran-aligned Houthi forces seized Yemen's port city of Mocha and advanced toward the Hanish Islands overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, while Iranian strikes damaged US fighter aircraft at a base in Jordan. The dual-front escalation raises concerns about global energy supplies and freedom of navigation, with Brent crude rising above $105 a barrel and US diesel prices surpassing $6 a gallon. Yemeni government forces are relocating south along the Red Sea coast, and UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg warned of a 'new and more dangerous phase' in the Yemen war. US officials confirmed damage to an A-10 Thunderbolt II and several F-15s at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, adding to mounting losses since the conflict began in February.
