An Iranian regime intelligence official has warned that Iran would attempt to block shipping traffic in another waterway if the Israeli military continues to launch strikes against Hezbollah or in Gaza.
Esmail Qaani, the head of the Iranian Quds Force, an intelligence agency under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed that Iran would attempt to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which would echo Iran’s move to effectively block traffic in the Strait of Hormuz since hostilities started.
