> Iran-aligned Houthi militants seized Yemen’s port city of Mocha on Thursday, according to military sources, posing a further threat to global energy supplies. Four Yemeni government military sources said the move gave the Houthis more leverage over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, while attacks were being launched on the strategic Hanish Islands.
