@mondoweiss Israel might want to do that, but it risks overstretching its already heavily depleted military. It's currently fighting #iran #palestine #lebanon and #houthis and when that's done it wants to go after #turkiye #turkey - all for Greater Israel.

So far, #Houthis have joined the #war, but only by striking #Israel directly (28 March-6 April). #Iran and Houthis have repeatedly threatened to close the Bab El Mandeb and to strike shipping in the #RedSea, in a repeat of the “Red Sea crisis” (November 2023-October 2025).

@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.
Si les #Houthis et les #Iraniens bloquent la #Mer-Rouge, ce ne sera pas seulement le pétrole du #Golfe-Persique qui sera perdu, mais aussi le commerce en #Mer-Rouge. Cela paralyserait l'économie mondiale."
