    Presumably it’s cheaper to go around Africa, so that would just be a blockade with extra steps.

      There is a lot of rich US colonies who export and import a lot, as the only viable path. KSA can go to red sea, but to deliver to asia, They would avoid “Houti controlled straight” and go suez then around Africa. Very long trip.
