Although Iran does not border the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, Yemen does, and Iran is closely allied with the Houthis, the Yemeni militant group that previously conducted dozens of strikes against Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea in 2023 and 2024 in response to the war in Gaza.

That’s where you’re wrong, dummy. The Gulf is water therefore ipso facto it is already flat. Checkmate beeotch
