The Houthi movement in Yemen has said it is going to block ships that belong to Saudi Arabia. This is a deal and it could make things worse in the Middle East.
The Houthi movement made this announcement through the media that supports them. They said this is part of their plan to fight. They warned that any ship that is connected to Saudi Arabia could be in trouble. This is happening at a time when there is a lot of fighting in the region because of what's going on with Iran and its friends.
The Houthi movement did not say how they are going to make sure the blockade works or which routes will be affected. The people in charge in Saudi Arabia have not said anything about this yet.
If the Houthi movement really does block these ships it could cause problems for trade. Getting energy in the Red Sea and other nearby waters. This would be bad for the safety of the region and for trade, around the world.
People who watch what is happening with ships are paying attention to see if the Houthi movement will actually do what they said they would do. They want to know if this will lead to fighting.
Editors Note: The Houthi movement said this. We do not know for sure if they have really blocked any ships yet.
