How Saudi Arabia and the UAE are bypassing 5y3 Strait or Hormuz

The Haus of Saud has been in the fight since the 1980s.
20 percent of the world's oil goes through Hormuz - but the NAG is a cul-de-sac.

Anybody remember the Rock-n-Roll Houthi Coup?
Bab al-Mandab?

No?
That's OK.
Our last Administration (whoever was running it) didn't either.

The Red Sea is NOT a cul-de-sac!
The Bab al-Mandab Strait (gate of tears or gate of grief) handles roughly 30% of world shipping.
The Houthis have declared their intent to escalate to a full blockade, having previously engaged in escalating missile and drone attacks on vessels since October 2023 (when we were less capably led!)

This is why you do not want a nuclear armed Iran.

 

Meanwhile 3500 ships and their crew of 20K are trapped in the Persian Gulf and running out of food and water...

 

Only if they're idiots.
Ships at anchor have fresh water bunkerage and desal plants.
They also have ports in the NAG.
Airports too.
Heck....there might even be a few whole countries up there.

Panic porn for people who don't get out very much....
