According to Iran’s state news agency IRNA, the IRGC said in a statement that the region’s energy exports would be “either for everyone or for no one”.
Analysts told Reuters that Iran was signalling it could rely on its Houthi allies in Yemen to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the strategic waterway leading to the Red Sea. Such a move could open a new front against Washington and threaten two of the world’s most important energy shipping routes.
The Bab al-Mandab Strait links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and is a key route for Saudi oil exports and a significant share of global maritime trade.
They’re absolute legends. Seeing the videos online they’re going at it with
swordsAK’s and sandals. So much for the Iranian backing. Though I don’t doubt their large missiles including the one which hit a Saudi pipleine have a lot of ongoing Iranian cooperation and are likely supplied by Iran,But besides those, Ansarallah is doing a lot by itself, including using captured weaponry from UAE and Saudi mercenaries.
