The importance of the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait has made the region a battleground for regional and supra-regional powers, with each actor trying to expand its influence in the region and the East Horn of Africa.
Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, consider the security of the Red Sea as part of the national security of their territories and strive for economic investment on the shores of the Red Sea.

New York Times Posted a report on the issue recently which says:
An Iranian military vessel stationed in the Red Sea was damaged by an apparent Israeli mine attack on Tuesday in an escalation of the shadowy naval skirmishing that has characterized the two adversaries’ exchanges in recent years.
The damage to the vessel, which the Iranian news media identified as the Saviz, came as progress was reported on the first day of talks to revive American participation in the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and major world powers. Israel, which regards Iran as its most potent foe, strongly opposes a restoration of that agreement, which was abandoned by the Trump administration three years ago.
Several Iranian news outlets showed images of flames and smoke billowing from a stricken vessel in the Red Sea, but the full extent of the damage or any casualties was unclear.
The Saviz, technically classified as a cargo ship, was the first vessel deployed for military use that is known to have been attacked in the Israeli-Iranian skirmishes.
