    Iran and its Houthi proxies may target the Red Sea as they look to inflict economic pain using critical transit points beyond the Strait of Hormuz, experts told The Post. The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have mostly stayed quiet since the US launched Operation Epic Fury Feb. 28, but if they get into the fight, they could try to lock up the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb in the Red Sea, say defense experts and the Houthis themselves.
