Iran shifts to Bab el-Mandeb Strait as Hormuz weakens
The article discusses Iran's escalation efforts to secure its strategic interests in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. It highlights that the effectiveness of the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of pressure has begun to wane, prompting Iran to focus on controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait through the Houthi movement, in order to drive up oil prices and threaten Saudi oil facilities. This has led to military operations and parallel attacks by the Houthis, including targeting oil pipelines in Iraq, with the aim of applying economic pressure on Saudi Arabia and alleviating Iran's own constraints. The report also indicates that these Iranian movements coincide with economic sanctions and increased restrictions, while Iraq has condemned these attacks and warned against using its territory for assaults on neighboring countries.
