In today's world, control over vital global trade routes is not only a sign of geographical power but also serves as a strategic tool in political and economic arenas. "Hassan Aliyan," an Arab expert and analyst, has recently addressed this issue and provided interesting insights regarding the control of the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb.
Strategic Straits and the Power of the Resistance Axis
Hassan Aliyan emphasizes the importance of the Strait of Hormuz as one of the most critical points for the transit of oil and goods in the world, stating that the Islamic Republic of Iran, by controlling this strait, has somewhat gained dominance over the global economy. This strait, recognized as a gateway for the export of oil and gas from the Gulf countries, any change in its status can have profound impacts on the energy market and the global economy.
Aliyan also refers to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is under the control of the Yemeni army. This strait, located near the shores of Yemen, is one of the strategic routes for ships passing from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. With this control, the Resistance Axis not only increases its power in the region but can also pose serious economic threats to Western and Arab countries.
Economic and Political Consequences
Analysts believe that controlling these two straits can act as a tool for pressure on rival countries. Especially in a situation where tensions between Iran and the West are escalating, these two strategic points could turn into an economic battleground. Aliyan emphasizes that this issue reflects fundamental changes in the international system and global powers.
Ultimately, the control of the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb as a determining factor in the future economic and political developments of the world will place the Resistance Axis in a superior position. This situation not only benefits Iran and Yemen but will also have profound impacts on the geographical and economic status of the region.
