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.

🚨🇾🇪🇮🇷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.

The only language the West/Israel understand: 🛢️ Oil embargo 🚢 No ships allowed though the Suez Canal, Gibraltar, Hormuz, and Bab-el-Mandeb Straits. Shut it down and watch them cry. No more fuel and trade til they leave the Middle East and pay reparations

Absolute masterclass in asymmetric warfare. Yemen's forces are boarding and sinking massive cargo ships while chanting victory. With Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and Yemen threatening Bab al-Mandeb, the Axis has completely choked the global economy.

BREAKING: The Houthis are preparing to SHUT the Bab-El-Mandeb Straight in the Red Sea. This would cause a global recession, and could be worse than Iran shutting the Straight of Hormuz... What do you think of this?

Medvedev has become Iran's spokesman and is threatening the West with a new weapon. "Iran has discovered another weapon, one no weaker than a nuclear weapon - the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also possesses a 'thermonuclear weapon' - the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. If blocked, all oil shipments and other transport will be locked down," he said.

In a TV interview, Hezbollah’s Deputy Chairman of the Political Council, Mahmoud Qomati, said the group is “on the border and not on the border – like ghosts. We have not started yet.” He added that while “Hezbollah's patience is running out, we will not abandon the strategy of patience in the face of enemy provocations.” Qomati emphasized, “We will not give up the weapons. We will not give up the resistance. We will not allow Lebanon to be abandoned. We need Iran. It does not need us. Israel is too cowardly to attack Iran.”

⚠️ Two chokepoints, one global crisis — Is the danger could be far bigger than Hormuz alone “The Strait of Hormuz is shut down.” But Scott Ritter (Scott Ritter) warns the real nightmare is if the Houthis close Bab al‑Mandeb after Saudi forces bombed Sana’a Airport. He cites Medvedev: “Hormuz is Iran’s atomic bomb… Bab al‑Mandeb is its thermonuclear weapon.” If both straits go dark, global supplies of oil and gas becomes an immediate and major crisis — putting Trump into an even WORSE position than he was earlier, when limited oil supplies compelled him to sign the MoU. Ritter says U.S. strikes - now almost daily - are meaningless — “zero impact on Iran’s ability to wage this war” — while Iran’s hits are targeted and effective. And he warns the Houthis will respond: “The most effective way… is to take down the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait.” Watch the full clip to understand what this means for the Iran war, U.S. strategy, and the wider Middle East conflict. ▶️ 🏷️#IranWar #USStrategy #MiddleEastConflict #StraitOfHormuz #BabAlMandeb #ScottRitter #DanielDavisDeepDive #EnergySecurity #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 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?

As anticipated, the Houthis have now entered the #IranWar‌ formally declaring their presence. This move likely serves two purposes: 1. to deter Saudi Arabia, and especially the UAE, from joining any potential U.S. ground operation against Iran. 2. to widen the battlespace and raise the regional costs of escalation. By doing so, they place the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb, a chokepoint through which roughly 10-12 percent of global trade flows, under direct pressure. At its core, the Iran War is a chokepoint war defined by control over critical maritime arteries of Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
