Yemen threatens enemy to close Bab al-Mandab Strait

TEHRAN, Apr. 04 (MNA) – As Iran’s closure of Hormuz Strait to enemy vessels has already put intense pressure on enemies, Iran’s parliament speaker has announced Yemeni’s threatening of closure of Bab al-Mandeb Strait.

In a post on his X account on Friday, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf wrote, “What share of global oil, LNG, wheat, rice, and fertilizer shipments transits the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait?"

"Which countries and companies account for the highest transit volumes through the strait?" the post went on.

Yemen threatens enemy to close Bab al-Mandab Strait

On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime began their latest bout of unprovoked aggression targeting Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran has responded by staging Operation True Promise 4, retaliatory strikes that have so far seen the country's Armed Forces unleash at least 93 waves of determined reprisal against strategic and sensitive American and Israeli targets throughout the region.

Simultaneously, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the world's liquefied natural gas (LNG) and 25 percent of seaborne oil trade pass each year, to vessels associated with the aggressors and those complicit in their atrocities.
