If the U.S. takes action in the Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb could be next. Together, these two chokepoints carry over 25% of global oil flows valued at nearly $3 billion per day. This is how a global trade shock can unfold.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 DANGER: ARE THE HOUTHIS A SERIOUS RISK TO OIL TRAFFIC IN THE RED SEA?! They've already proven they are. Yemen's Iranian - backed Houthis declared a maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia. In two weeks, Saudi crude loadings through the Bab el - Mandeb collapsed 36% - from 9.5 million to 6.1 million barrels daily. They're already attacking tankers. Saudi Arabia was using the Red Sea as an escape route because Iran blocked Hormuz. Seventy percent of their crude exports now move through this strait. Two tanker attacks forced them to halt all shipments temporarily. The Bab el - Mandeb carries 12% of global maritime trade. A full Houthi closure cuts global oil supply by 7%. Combined with the Hormuz blockade, that's a quarter of global oil and gas at risk. This is Iran squeezing two chokepoints at once. Can we protect the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea?

A huge oil tanker is burning in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has said that no ship will pass through the Strait of Hormuz unless Iran gives permission. Bab al-Mandab is already closed by the Houthis. The Arabian Sea is now in danger. All shipping in this sea is starting to stop.

.Vice President JD Vance: "We're seeing more oil come out of the Strait of Hormuz—and somedays, it's actually more oil coming out of the Strait than came out before [the conflict]...the world oil economy is kind of getting back into gear. That's going to take a little bit of time, but you've already seen the prices come way down."

‼️Despite the latest statement from President Trump that the Strait of Hormuz is now open, Zelenskyy said that leaders from many countries are holding a special meeting today on security in the Strait, and Ukraine is participating in it. “Today I'll also be joining the Strait of Hormuz meeting. Many leaders are gathering to coordinate and ensure security in the Strait of Hormuz. Now the world knows exactly where this strait is and why it matters so much. This strait echoes what we said about the Black Sea in 2022 and 2023, when Russia tried to blockade us. Ukraine solved that challenge. Now everyone in the world sees that maritime security is a global value, not just someone's isolated problem. Security must be defended together. We hope our partners' conclusions on all current challenges will be strong” - Ukrainian President on Friday, April 17th, 2026.

🚨🇾🇪🇮🇷Houthis are now threatening to shut down the Bab el-Mandeb strait on top of the already closed Strait of Hormuz. The Iran-backed Yemeni militia has fired several missiles at Israel and has already proven it can paralyze Red Sea shipping simply by making the risk too high for insurance companies and shippers. Their attacks forced massive reroutes around Africa and caused a global trade crisis. If both straits stay blocked at once the world would face an oil shock worse than anything in modern history.
