Saudi Arabia is pressing the Trump administration to drop the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, now entering its second day, fearing it could lead to the disruption of other shipping routes, according to a new report.
Concretely, officials said Tehran could retaliate to the move by closing Bab al-Mandeb, a key waterway in the Red Sea through which much of the country's remaining exports transit, according to The Wall Street Journal.
