Attention is turning to the Bab el-Mandeb strait, nicknamed the 'Gate of Tears', a narrow waterway linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, as a new flash point in the war involving Iran. The strait is a critical artery for global shipping, and any escalation there threatens international trade and could widen the conflict beyond its current front lines.
