The truth many cannot shut their eyes to. The EU/UK/USA knows what lies beneath. Breakaway Somaliland is a one-clan enclave. This is Borama capital of Awdal state (or near Bab al-Mandab Strait) ripping apart the secessionist billboards.

If the Strait of Hormuz is the nuclear bomb, then Bab el-Mandab could be the hydrogen bomb. If the US keeps escalating against Iran, Yemen has threatened to back Tehran by shutting down the Bab el-Mandab Strait. Millions of barrels of oil pass through it every day, along with container ships carrying everything from consumer goods to pharmaceuticals. Close both chokepoints, and you're looking at a crisis that could devastate the global economy. Tune in to the Sanchez Effect.

From yesterday's speech by the leader of "Ansar Allah", Abdul-Malik al-Houthi: Even animals instinctively distinguish enemies from friends. And yet, Arab leaders still consider their worst enemies as friends... this is utter stupidity. 🇾🇪 Yemen is one of Iran's trump cards. When the Houthis block the Bab al-Mandab Strait, it will be a total disaster.

“We own the Bab al-Mandab Strait, we are present there, and no agreement can take place without our involvement. Somalia has no role in this matter. Our President said that Ethiopia, a country of 150 million people that is landlocked, has the right to access the sea, and that is true,” said Somaliland’s Minister of the Presidency, Khadar Hussein Abdi.

My take on the upcoming oil inventory shortages: "If the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, the US will come close to depleting its inventories of oil by the end of July. When inventories run out, we will face a real shortage, and prices will spike."

“Well of course when you’re trying to get oil through the Red Sea, [Iran] certainly has the ability to intimidate civilian shipping… This is the classic definition of what we’ve been warning about for a number of years—that is asymmetric warfare.” Former Pentagon official Don Brown warns that the Houthis in Yemen, under the direction of Iran, have the ability to shut down commercial shipping in the Bab al-Mandab Strait as the war continues to escalate.

Oil trading expert explains why opening the Strait of Hormuz still won't fix the oil crisis “Kuwait is producing no oil, Iraq is producing almost no oil, Saudi Arabia's production is down significantly” “Other than the US and Russia, the largest oil-producing countries in the world have their production effectively shut down” “If the Strait opened tomorrow, it would still take months to repair some of the damage that’s been done”

⚠️ 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
