Iranian newspaper warns prolonged closure of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb would backfire

Iran's conservative Ettelaat newspaper argued on Tuesday that keeping both the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait closed for an extended period would ultimately damage Iran's own interests.

The paper said blocking the two strategic waterways might give Tehran temporary leverage, but it would not provide a lasting strategic advantage.

According to the report, the global economy could absorb several weeks of severe disruption. However, if the crisis continued for months, it would significantly increase economic pressure and raise the likelihood of large-scale intervention by major world powers.
