CNN: O mica insulă cu stânci și nisip, din strâmtoarea Bab al-Mandeb, ar putea deveni crucială pentru aprovizionarea cu petrol a lumii

The volcanic island of Perim, located in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, is becoming a strategic focal point in the conflict between Iran and the U.S. The island controls a vital maritime route, and the Houthi rebels' offensive raises concerns about their potential takeover. This could threaten international shipping and escalate tensions in the region. The Houthi forces, backed by Iran, have intensified their efforts to capture strategic coastal areas, including Mocha. The geopolitical implications of this conflict extend beyond Yemen, with potential impacts on global oil prices and U.S. politics. The situation highlights the increasing complexity of the Yemen civil war, which has drawn in regional powers and could lead to further military interventions.
