The possibility of opening the Bab al-Mandeb front in case of enemy action in southern Iran
A military source told Tasnim News Agency:

- We continuously and continuously monitor the preparations and developments of the enemy's front.

- He emphasized: "If the enemy wants to take action on the ground in the Iranian islands or anywhere else in our lands, or if it carves a cost against Iran in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman with naval movements, we will open other fronts for it as a surprise so that its action will not only not benefit it but also double its costs!"

- The military source reiterated: "The Bab al-Mandeb Strait is one of the strategic straits in the world, and Iran has both the will and the ability to create a completely credible threat against it, so if the Americans want to think of a solution for the Strait of Hormuz with stupid actions, they should be careful not to add another strait to their problems and predicaments."

- In the end, he said: "Iran is fully prepared to escalate the situation. If the enemy is hesitant and does not have the wisdom to learn from its experiences, it can do so again, as in the case of Assaluyeh, etc. Let us test.
Context
