An Iranian military commander has warned of the potential closure of vital international waterways, including the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar, if military actions in Gaza persist. This warning comes amid escalating tensions in the Red Sea, where Yemen’s Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have repeatedly attacked commercial vessels. These disruptions have forced major maritime shipping companies to avoid the Suez Canal route, opting instead for longer and more expensive journeys around Africa, raising concerns over global trade stability and energy supply chains.
- An Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander threatened the closure of key waterways, including the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar, if hostilities in Gaza continue.
- Yemen’s Houthi rebels have conducted numerous drone and missile attacks against commercial ships transiting the Red Sea.
- The Red Sea is a critical corridor for global commerce, handling approximately 12 percent of global trade and key energy shipments.
- In response to the security threats, major shipping firms have suspended routes through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, rerouting vessels around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope.
- The United States and its allies have established a multinational coalition to secure maritime transport and counter the attacks.
