WorldCould Iran’s allies close a second key shipping route?

Iran has warned that its campaign to throttle global energy markets could spread beyond the Strait of Hormuz to the strategically important Red Sea route. The threat is conditional on continued US attacks, according to the report. Any move against the Red Sea route would depend on Iran’s Houthi allies in Yemen. The warning raises the prospect of wider disruption to global energy shipping, but describes a threatened expansion rather than a confirmed closure.
