As global focus remains on the Strait of Hormuz, a new point is emerging at the Bab el-Mandeb Strait near Yemen. Iran has warned it could escalate tensions there if US and Israeli strikes continue. Though geographically distant, Tehran may act through Iran-backed Houthi forces, who have previously disrupted shipping in the Red Sea. This chokepoint carries nearly 10% of global oil trade, making it strategically critical. With both straits under threat, energy markets face rising risks. Donald Trump signals strength, but fears grow that disruption could trigger a wider, costlier global crisis.
