Today, the Joint Resistance Front Command treats Bab el-Mandeb like Hormuz.​

Axar.az reports that Ali Akbar Velayati, senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, wrote on X: “If the White House dares to repeat its foolish mistakes, it will soon realize that the global flow of energy and trade can be disrupted with a single gesture.”

He added: “When the Anglo-Saxon ancestors searched for fire in caves, Darius the Great connected the Mediterranean to the Red Sea with a canal to facilitate navigation. At that time, Iran’s knowledge laid the foundation for global scientific progress."

"America has learned history from Iran, but still fails to understand the geography of power," he continued.
