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.
Nobody in Yemen is democratic, and Ukraine is acting in it’s own interests.
Nonsense. Ukraine’s interests include being at peace with its neighbors, not being $ billion in debt to Western arms dealers, in a losing war, etc.
