Global Shipping at Risk as Iran Considers Second Chokepoint
Iran's threats could block two key maritime straits-Hormuz and Bab Al Mandeb-simultaneously. This would severely disrupt global oil and trade routes, raising costs for everyone. The Houthis in Yemen, backed by Iran, have shown they can make these waters dangerous without a full blockade, forcing ships to take longer, costlier detours. If both straits are compromised, supply chains worldwide will feel the impact.
