Yemen’s Houthis have claimed responsibility for an attack in the Iran war for the first time. After this attack the war has reached a dangerous point.
Let us tell you that the armed forces of the Houthi group reported on Telegram on Saturday that they have launched their first military operation with a batch of ballistic missiles, which targeted sensitive military targets of Israel.
He cited the continuously increasing military tension against Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestinian territories as the reason behind this.
Iran has already put a guard on the world’s oil supply by attacking the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, due to Houthi’s entry in the war, the possibility of disruption of oil supply in the Red Sea has also increased.
Let us tell you that the Red Sea is an important corridor for global trade, especially for trade between Europe and Asia. About one-tenth of the world’s seaborne oil shipments typically pass through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
It is a narrow passage (chokepoint), only 16 miles wide and which separates the Arabian Peninsula from the ‘Horn of Africa’. At the same time, due to the obstacles in the Hormuz route, Saudi Arabia has increased the sending of oil consignments through the Red Sea route. In such a situation, if Houthis close this area also, then the oil crisis will increase worldwide.
Iran has already given this signal
Iran has already indicated that this waterway could become a target. This week it said the 1,400-mile-long waterway separating Africa and Asia had become a legitimate target for retaliatory attacks because of the presence of the US aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford.
