How are developments in Yemen reshaping maritime security and commercial shipping in the Red Sea?

Once again, Yemen has developed into a focal point of regional escalation. Houthi threats and attacks against merchant vessels as well as Saudi Arabia's oil sector have increased the risk for commercial shipping operations in the Red Sea. These developments have followed regional tensions in the wake of the Iran war and have placed additional pressure on key energy-export and trade routes.

In this webinar, we examine the latest developments in Yemen, the strategy of the main actors and the risks facing ships passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. We will also consider potential developments in the months ahead, including the role of regional powers, international naval forces and the growing interdependence between security in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.
