Iran's warning on Bab al-Mandeb closure
An Iranian leader warned that allies could shut the Bab al-Mandeb strait, a key global trade route, similar to the Strait of Hormuz closure. If both straits were blocked, it could disrupt a quarter of the world's energy supply and 10% of global trade, deepening economic impacts worldwide. The strait is controlled by Iran-backed Houthis, who have previously shown they can block it, and experts say a closure would create a 'nightmare scenario' for trade.
