Houthis Seize Mocha as Oil Hits $105 and Iran Claims Hormuz Vessel Strike (Sep 10, 1815 UTC, 2115 Israel) (Evening Edition)
Houthi forces captured the Red Sea port city of Mocha, tightening their grip on the Bab al-Mandab Strait as oil prices surged to $105 per barrel. Iran's IRGC claimed destruction of a US unmanned vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, while the IAEA reported construction activity at Iran's fortified Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site. Israeli strikes killed a family of four in Beit Lahia, Gaza, and the IDF prepared to demolish a major Hezbollah tunnel system beneath the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon.
