As tensions across the Middle East continue to escalate, attention is gradually shifting beyond the Strait of Hormuz to another highly strategic maritime chokepoint -the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Iran, through its allies in Yemen, is considering this narrow sea passage as a possible pressure point against its adversaries, according to Iranian state-linked media outlet Tasnim. This has raised concerns that the conflict could expand into global shipping lanes and disrupt the movement of oil and goods through one of the world’s busiest trade routes.
