A senior IRGC official recently warned that failure to meet Iran's conditions could lead to a new world war. Analysts now assess that the scope of potential conflict may expand beyond the Persian Gulf to other strategic waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and even secondary chokepoints like the Malacca Strait. In practical terms, Iran holds direct control over Hormuz with its missile and drone capabilities, while its ally Ansar Allah in Yemen can disrupt shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.
