An Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander was quoted by the country’s media as saying Saturday that the the Mediterranean Sea could be closed if the U.S. and allies continue to commit “crimes” in Gaza, according to Reuters.
It’s unclear how Iran could pull off such a maneuver, but Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Naqdi reportedly said “They shall soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, [the Strait of] Gibraltar and other waterways.”
The apparent warning comes a day after a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News that Iran has been providing intelligence to Yemen’s Houthi rebels on ship locations in the Red Sea during the recent series of attacks on commercial vessels in the area.
An Iranian surveillance vessel has been tracking the commercial ships and sharing locations for the Houthis to target with their drones and rockets, which are also provided by Iran.

Does Iran need a repeat of Operation Praying Mantis?
Most of the Arab countries over there have good relations with Iran and won’t stop any armament of moslem fanatics there that can shoot anything at ships full of gas going to Israel and that might mean there isn’t gas for the war on Lebanon which Israel almost lost last time because there wasn’t enough gas but now we have the tamar and also some from Greece that was found since then but Egypt also found an ocean of gas and there are reports of it not useable cause water seeped into the gas so far no reports of this happening in Israel but there is a good chance and if something like the huthis destroy gas ships going to Israel then most probably they will not win the war if there isn’t the gas supply it’s over
It’s time to cut off the head of the snake. Israel and for that matter the rest of the world isn’t safe with a radical islamic Iran. Time to bring out the nukes. Enough already.
Disrupting maritime commerce has nothing to do with Israel.
Iran is calling the western powers (and in particular, Biden’s) bluff. Will the US (and friends) call the bluff, or fold (if they do, bye-bye Eastern Europe, Taiwan and Israel). The axis of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea smells blood, and may be willing to take risks in the belief that the United States, and friends, won’t go to war no matter how outrageous the provocation.
But he ask them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs and to give them food water and fuel ⛽️
Biden went the EY to control them
He bought the Israelis with Money Promises and Visits (בסף שטר וביאה)
The houthis are showing the us we have once again have over engineered our military due to the greed of contractors. The primitive missiles they are using are expending the missiles of our ships which need to be replenished in port.
The is no way the US can maintain a contingency in the Mediterranean especially considering the ships are at minimum possible crews due to record low recruiting numbers. The US has a weaker flex than they can admit and both Russia and Iran know this.
