Statecraft With Geeta Mohan | No More Oil Shipments From Gulf? Hormuz Closed, Houthis Open New Front

The Iran war has entered a dangerous new phase—and this time, the battlefield is the world's oil supply. With the Strait of Hormuz already under severe disruption, Iran-backed Houthis have threatened to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Saudi Arabia's critical alternative route for exporting crude. If both maritime chokepoints come under pressure, the world's oil could face a historic bottleneck. #houthis #yemen #saudiarabia #redsea #babalmandeb #oiltankers #shipping #middleeast #iran #breakingnews #worldnews #maritimesecurity #globalsecurity #geopolitics #tradewar In this episode of Statecraft with Geeta Mohan, we explain why the Bab el-Mandeb matters, how the Houthi blockade threatens global shipping, why oil tankers are already changing course, and what happens if both of the Middle East's major oil gateways become unusable. Could this trigger another global energy crisis? Will shipping costs and inflation surge? And why is the Red Sea suddenly becoming the next major front in the Iran war? Watch the full analysis as we break down the geopolitics, the shipping routes, and the economic consequences of a world where oil has nowhere left to go.
