Will "Hargisa" Threaten Iran's Chess Move from Hormuz to Bab el-Mandeb?

He noted: within this framework, if Hormuz is considered the world's energy gateway, then Bab el-Mandeb is the link connecting it to European and Mediterranean markets. Therefore, any crisis in the Persian Gulf will sooner or later spill over to the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.
