Iran Threatens to Close Navigation in Bab al-Mandeb Strait and Gulf of Aden
Marine threats from Iran are escalating, as the country has hinted at expanding the scope of confrontation to include the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Arabian Gulf, in an effort to pressure the United States and its allies and disrupt global shipping traffic. This comes alongside a US military escalation against Iran in the Gulf, amid fears that such actions could lead to widespread disruptions in the oil market and maritime transportation. Closing major sea routes, especially the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, poses a scenario that threatens the stability of global trade and the security of maritime passages in the region.
