The Houthi declaration that they intend to block Saudi shipping and vessels bound for Saudi ports in the Red Sea is not another act of revolutionary theatre. It is Iran’s latest attempt to test Saudi Arabia’s strategic patience through one of its most capable regional proxies.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2026 / There are new rules for how fashion can clean out its closet. Beginning this week, the European Union's prohibition on destroying unsold clothing, footwear and accessories requires major brands to prove what happens to excess inventory. SMX has already built that solution. Its patented molecular marking technology gives nearly any fiber-including cotton, polyester, wool, nylon, nonwoven materials and other textiles-a permanent physical identity that survives manufacturing, resale and recycling. Combined with the company's Digital Material Passport platform, every product carries an authenticated record from raw fiber through manufacturing, retail, resale, recycling and recovery-a verifiable receipt that can withstand regulatory scrutiny. Through previous collaborations with the Centre Européen des Textiles Innovants (CETI),TruCotton® and Indorama Ventures, SMX has already demonstrated how scientific traceability can transform textile manufacturing and circularity.
