@DrALJONES
According to some sections in #US and #Israel, under the guise of #JCPOA #Iran armed and instigated their proxies, like #Houthis, #Hamas and #Hezbollah. Those same sections also claim that #JCPOA was flawed because it did not put an end to enrichment of uranium by #Iran, did not stop #missiles development by #Iran and did not stop other destabilizing actions by #Iran.

Not saying that they were right or wrong.

@GeoWire Will shifting of trade routes to #RedSea help customers of Gulf nations in Indian Ocean Region, East Africa, Asia and Pacific? Doubtful as long as #Houthis remain in Western Yemen. Maybe the time has come to build a bypass to Strait of #Hormuz. Either a artificial canal built in #Oman or #UAE or both. A rail corridor, road highway, oil pipeline and gas corridor from Saudi to ports in East Yemen would also be required.

If #Trump is apoplectic with rage over the closure of the #StraitOfHormuz, wait until #Iran closes #BabElMandeb — gateway from #Suez to #HornOfAfrica — with the help of the #Houthis in #Yemen.

Trump has stirred up a hornet's nest, and it's going to sting.

A lot.

Iran Can’t Hit U.S. Directly—So It’s Hitting Everyone Around It

Iran strikes Gulf nations, oil hubs, and U.S. bases across the region. The result: rising oil prices, global instability, and a war spreading through allies.
