    BTW, 5 days ago, Egypt scrambled (with Saudi support) to secure (for now, from the Iranian-backed Houthis) Bab El-Mandeb Straits - the entry point to the Red Sea -> and in turn the Suez Canal -> in turn, a massive gateway for global shipping and oil trade.  Now, as I said, project forward 5-10 years and a Nuclear enabled Iran holding these Straits and a nice chunk of world trade to ransom.
