The article discusses the importance of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which goes beyond being a mere maritime route for global trade. It connects the Indian Ocean with the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea, and is considered a vital point for reaching the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal. Historically, South Yemen exploited this strait to support Egypt's stance against Israel in 1973 by closing it at the time to prevent ships carrying military equipment and food supplies, thereby strengthening the war effort. Currently, the region faces attempts by Iran and its Houthi proxy to seize control of areas overlooking the strait, aiming to dominate international shipping routes—particularly by advancing into the surrounding mountains and hills—to support missile and drone attacks. This effort enhances Iran’s influence in the region and may compensate for its losses in the Strait of Hormuz. The article calls on the southern leadership to reorganize its forces, increase readiness to protect national sovereignty and the strait, and leverage its strategic location to support the restoration of the South and to achieve security and stability in the area.
