[Iran's Supreme Leader's Advisor Warns US: May Block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait as Retaliation] Iran's Supreme Leader's foreign affairs advisor, Ayatollah Velayati, warned the United States on the 5th that if it "makes another mistake," the Iranian-led resistance front will retaliate by blocking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Velayati posted on social media that day: "Today, the unified command of the resistance front views the Bab el-Mandeb Strait as much as the Strait of Hormuz. If the White House makes another foolish mistake, it will soon realize that with just one move, global energy and trade flows will be disrupted." (Xinhua)
