Bab al-Mandeb Blockade Could Spark New Front and Strangle Global Oil
Bab al-Mandeb, like the Strait of Hormuz, is a narrow but vital waterway for global trade. A Houthi blockade here could open a new front in the Iran war. It might also stretch US forces and weaken their ability to secure the Strait of Hormuz. This disruption could block Saudi diesel exports to Europe just when markets need them most. Iran holds all the cards and will likely dictate how and when this conflict ends. It is a reminder that no one should start a war they cannot finish.
