Houthis control Yemeni coastline after capturing Perim island | ABC NEWS

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have captured a key island in the Red Sea and effectively secured control of the entire Yemeni coastline.
The paramilitary group seized Perim island and solidified their hold on the Bab Al-Mandab Strait, after Yemeni government forces pulled out of the area.
The Houthis say ships from all countries except for Saudi Arabia are safe to pass through the crucial shipping lane as Iran seeks to apply more pressure on the US.
