Iran has threatened to blockade Bab al-Mandab, a critical 29-kilometer-wide maritime choke point between Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, if the United States deploys ground forces and threatens Kharg Island. The choke point connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and handles approximately 12 percent of seaborne oil and over 20 percent of container traffic bound for the Suez Canal. Cargo worth around one trillion US dollars passes through Bab al-Mandab annually. Iran has also threatened to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. On day 27 of the conflict, US and Israeli forces conducted precision strikes on Bandar Abbas, neutralizing Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps naval commander Rear Admiral Ari Reza Tansiri, along with his intelligence and operations chiefs, and struck an underground command centre. In retaliation, Iran launched drone, rocket, and missile strikes targeting Israel and Gulf Cooperation Council countries across the region.
