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.

      Ah yes, freedom fighting Shia Muslims firing unguided freedom rockets at Israeli civilians.

      Note that both the Houthis and Hezbollah are Shias (hence allied with Shia Iran, in the Sunni-Shia religious cold war). And the Muslims Israel displaced from the Israel were Sunnis. So the claim of them being “freedom fighters” in the Israel-Palestine conflict is quite dubious - Yemen and Iran especially has no relation to Israel, they are just using Jews as an external enemy to blame their own shortcomings on. While of course not caring at all about China’s Uighur genocide.
