Iran may open Bab al-Mandab Strait front if its territory is attacked

The semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed Iranian military source, that Iran could open a new front in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait if attacks are carried out on Iranian territory or islands.

The report noted that the Yemen-based Houthi group, allied with Iran, has previously carried out attacks in the area surrounding the strategically important Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
