Iran’s Quds Force Chief Warns Bab al-Mandab Will Mirror Strait of Hormuz
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, Major General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, issued a warning that the Bab al‑Mandab strait could become a flashpoint similar to the Strait of Hormuz.
During a briefing, Zahedi cautioned that the strategic waterway, which lies between Yemen and Djibouti, might face heightened tensions and potential conflict, echoing concerns that have previously focused on the Persian Gulf.
The statement reflects Iran’s broader emphasis on safeguarding its maritime interests and signals the country’s readiness to respond to any escalation in the region.
