A dangerous geopolitical game is currently being played on the strategic waterway of the Red Sea, which has shaken the foundation of the global economy. Yemen’s Houthi rebels are currently adopting the exact same strategy in the Red Sea that has been taught to them by Iran. Saudi Arabia is so entangled in this maze that it is certain that it will have a direct impact not only on the Gulf countries but on the trade and supply chain of the entire world.
Houthis’ big bet on global chokepoint
The Red Sea is not just a waterway, it is the lifeline of international trade. Houthi rebels have started trying to take complete control of this important sea route (chokepoint) with the help of drone and missile technology. Experts believe that this step of the Houthis has been taken to directly hurt the economic interests of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is highly dependent on this route to secure its oil economy, and this has now become its biggest weakness.
Tehran’s secret script and Yemen’s fighters
The claims of Iran being behind this entire incident are gaining strength. According to experts, Iran has equipped the Houthis with weapons, intelligence input and strategic training for years. On the same lines as Iran often exerts pressure in the Persian Gulf, the Houthis are now challenging Saudi Arabia and its Western allies in the Red Sea. This is a kind of proxy war, where the pieces are in place, but the moves are being made by Tehran.
How will the whole world suffer the consequences of this war?
If this Red Sea crisis continues for a long time, then every common and special person will have to suffer its consequences. Commercial ships passing through this route now have to travel long distances and detour to Africa. Due to this, the cost of ship hire, insurance and fuel has increased manifold. The result will be that in the coming days, everything including crude oil, gas, grains and electronics goods will become expensive, which may start a new phase of global inflation.
