Ansar Allah may block Bab Al-Mandeb if Lebanon is encircled
The political council member of Hezbollah, Mahmoud Qomati, spoke about the readiness of the Ansar Allah group in Yemen to take escalatory steps if Lebanon or Hezbollah were subjected to military siege, including the possibility of closing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and placing it under Hezbollah’s control. The strait is a strategic passage that connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, and it holds great importance for trade and energy movement. These statements come amid escalating regional tensions, with concerns about the potential expansion of the confrontation to include international shipping lanes and vital straits in the area.
