Iranian-backed Houthis have seized Perim island, giving Tehran a forward position over one of the world's most important maritime chokepoints just as Saudi Arabia shut its East-West pipeline after a cross-border drone attack from Iraq. This escalates the proxy war and raises questions for missile defense, naval presence, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
