TechFlow News, April 6: According to Caixin Global, on April 5, Ali Akbar Velayati, Foreign Affairs Advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, warned the United States that if it “commits another mistake,” the Resistance Axis led by Iran would respond by blockading the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Velayati posted on social media that day: “Today, the Unified Command of the Resistance Axis views the Bab el-Mandeb Strait as equivalent to the Strait of Hormuz. If the White House commits another foolish mistake, it will soon realize that a single move could disrupt global energy and trade flows.” The Bab el-Mandeb Strait connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden and serves as a critical chokepoint linking the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean. This strait falls under the control of Yemen’s Houthi armed group. Some media outlets interpret Velayati’s post as a response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats against Iran issued earlier that day. On April 5, Trump posted on social media reiterating his demand that Iran open the Strait of Hormuz and threatening that “April 7 will be Iran’s power plant day and bridge day,” implying plans for heavy bombing of Iranian power plants and bridges.
