The Houthis of Yemen promise to cut off Trump’s last hope in the Middle East

The Houthis have vowed to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, vital for energy trade, if the US continues to obstruct peace in the Middle East.

This article dissects the fatal shockwave caused by the simultaneous sealing of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, a surgical maneuver that decapitates the Empire’s energy trade and condemns its hegemony to immediate asphyxiation before affecting the rest of the world.

Bab el-Mandeb, or the Agony of an Empire

The geopolitical clock has stopped. The ceasefire between Tehran and Washington expires on April 21. The Strait of Hormuz is already a graveyard of Western ambitions, sealed off by the White House’s systematic failures. Now, the world’s gaze turns south, toward the “Gate of Tears.” The Houthis have promised: if the American obstruction of peace persists, Bab el-Mandeb will close. This is no longer a threat. It is a death sentence for hegemony.

Bab el-Mandeb is not just a strait. It is the jugular of fossil capitalism. By threatening to seal this passage, Sana’a is not merely engaging in military strategy. It is performing precision surgery on an already weakened imperial system. For the United States and its regional extension, Israel, the simultaneous closure of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb means logistical apocalypse. No more oil. No more trade. Just the silence of deserted ports. Sana’a’s warning rings out like a definitive oracle: “If we decide to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, as Iran did with the Strait of Hormuz, neither humans nor jinn will be able to reopen it, not even with a nuclear bomb.”

Since the launch........
