📌 标题:A new front is opening in the Iran war. Oil faces ‘no way out’Jul 22, 2026
📅 发布时间:Updated Jul 22, 2026, 7:12 AM ET
📝 英文原文:
The Houthis’ blockade of the Bab al-Mandeb strait couldn’t have come at a worse time for the oil market.Iran’s proxies in Yemen havethreatened to cut offa major bypass of the Strait of Hormuz, through which oil tanker traffic has slowed dramatically in recent days.So far, the Houthis have been unable or unwilling to enforce the blockade that the militant group announced Tuesday. But the threat alone has persuaded some ships to abandon their plans to exit the Red Sea heading south.An effective Houthi blockade of Bab al-Mandeb would create a new front in the war with Iran, potentially requiring US military intervention that could then erode US ability to help ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. It also could prevent the Saudis from getting diesel to Europe at a crucial time for the fuel market.Oil prices havealready surged more than $20 a barrelthis month after war broke out again in the Middle East, briefly rising above $95 Wednesday for the first time since early June. It could rise more if the workaround no longer works.Bab al-MandebLike the Strait of Hormuz, Bab al-Mandeb is an exceedingly narrow waterway through which a significant chunk of the global economy transits. It’s just 14 miles wide at its narrowest point between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti, about 40% narrower than Hormuz.Bab al-Mandeb isn’t as crucial as the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 million barrels of oil – 20% of the world’s daily supply – typically transited before the war. But Bab al-Mandeb is no slouch: About 6.2 million barrels of oil have been traveling through that strait every day over the past month, according to Kpler.A significant chunk of that oil would normally have been destined for the Persian Gulf, but Saudi Arabia instead has sent it via its massive East-West pipeline to its major Red Sea port of Yanbu. The Saudis have diverted roughly 4 million to 5 million barrels of oil per day from the Persian Gulf through Yanbu, according to Helima Croft, head of global strategy at RBC Capi

胡塞武装对曼德海峡的封锁对石油市场来说实在是太糟糕了。伊朗在也门的代理人威胁要切断霍尔木兹海峡的主要绕道,最近几天通过该海峡的油轮交通急剧放缓。到目前为止,胡塞武装一直无法或不愿意执行该武装组织周二宣布的封锁。但光是这一威胁就说服了一些船只放弃离开红海向南航行的计划。
