> Yemen’s armed forces took control of the Red Sea city of Mocha on Monday after fighting Iran-backed Houthi forces, state-run Saba reported. The move brings the internationally recognized government closer to controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a narrow passage linking the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
