Houthi forces seized Perim Island in the Strait of Bab al-Mandab after government troops withdrew. [1] The BBC filed the same island after Thursday's capture of Mokha. [2] Thursday this paper printed Mokha taken. Friday the view of the lane is an island. Perim is not Hormuz. Print the island. Do not print a closed Bab el-Mandeb.

The Guardian filed Iran-backed allies taking a strategic island at the mouth of the shipping lane. [1] An island is not a mapped prohibited zone in the Gulf. Do not stitch this to Rezaei's coming chart. Do not spend a later island that belongs to a later edition.

Spokesman copy that navigation remains safe except for named enemies is a claim. A claim is not a traffic count. An announcement that an offensive is over in six districts is not a ceasefire. Print Perim. Leave a recapture to the edition that owns a recapture.
