Un oficial avertizează că urmează o criză mai mare decât cea din Strâmtoarea Ormuz: Este un pericol uriaș
An Israeli official warns of a looming crisis more severe than the one in Hormuz, due to Houthi control over the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. The official emphasized that the narrowness of the strait allows Houthi forces to threaten vessels directly, unlike the situation in Hormuz where Iran relies on advanced systems. The Houthis, backed by Iran, are expanding their influence along Yemen's coast, recently capturing the port of Mocha, which is crucial for global maritime routes. Bab-el-Mandeb is vital for trade between Asia and Europe, with significant oil transit occurring daily, making any disruption potentially catastrophic for global shipping and oil markets.
