Iran Closes Bab al-Mandab Strait, Blocking 12% of Global Trade in June 2026

According to WatcherGuru, Iran has closed the Bab al-Mandab Strait in June 2026 following Israeli strikes. The strait is a critical maritime chokepoint connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, with approximately 12% of global trade passing through it annually. The closure is expected to disrupt shipping routes and potentially increase costs for oil shipments and other goods transiting the region.
