Saudi Arabia found a way around one of the world’s most dangerous oil chokepoints. But now, its alternative route faces a problem of its own. As disruption around the Strait of Hormuz puts pressure on Gulf energy flows, Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea route has become increasingly important. But developments around Bab-el-Mandeb, the narrow gateway connecting the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, are raising fresh questions about the security of this crucial corridor. Why does this tiny stretch of water matter so much? How important is Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil route? And what happens if pressure builds at both ends of the region’s energy network? We break down the geography, the oil infrastructure and the strategic importance of Bab-el-Mandeb. #SaudiArabia #BabElMandeb #StraitOfHormuz #Oil #RedSea #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #EnergySecurity #Houthis #NDTVProfit For more videos subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NDTVProfitIndia Visit NDTV Profit for more news: https://www.ndtvp
