The threat to close Bab el-Mandeb, combined with an already shut Hormuz, could choke off all Middle East oil exports, sparking a logistics nightmare. Shipping routes, insurance costs, and global trade flows face unprecedented disruption.
Iran's directive to the Houthis to close Bab el-Mandeb, coupled with the existing Strait of Hormuz shutdown, threatens a two-front maritime blockade. Defense analysts must assess the IRGC's operational control in Yemen and the U.S. military's dilemma.
The Iran-backed threat to close Bab el-Mandeb could trigger a massive oil price spike, disrupt global supply chains, and roil commodity, currency, and equity markets. Preparation is key.
The potential closure of the Red Sea, on top of the Hormuz shutdown, threatens to remove nearly a third of global oil supply from the market, intensifying the energy crisis. This could accelerate the transition to renewables but also risk short-term coal resurgence.
