An Iranian commander has threatened to target shipping in the Gulf and Red Sea should the United States maintain a naval blockade. The threat extends beyond the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns about wider regional instability. Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps has been preparing for maritime special operations, including deploying mines and explosive drones. Additionally, the Houthi movement in Yemen, aligned with Iran, could resume attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, potentially disrupting the flow of approximately seven million barrels of Saudi Arabian oil exports daily. This escalation follows recent tensions and rhetoric regarding maritime security in the Middle East. Experts note Iran does not rely on a traditional navy to pose a threat, focusing instead on asymmetric warfare tactics.
