An Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander said the Mediterranean Sea could be closed if the United States and its allies continued to commit "crimes" in Gaza, Iranian media reported on Saturday, without explaining how that would happen.
Iran backs Hamas against Israel and it accuses the United States of backing what it calls Israeli crimes in Gaza, where weeks of bombardment have killed thousands of people and driven most of the population from their homes.
"They shall soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, (the Strait of) Gibraltar and other waterways," Tasnim quoted Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, coordinating commander of the Guards, as saying.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group has over the past month attacked merchant vessels sailing through the Red Sea in retaliation for Israel's assault on Gaza, leading some shipping companies to switch routes.

Iran Doesn't Share Anything With Mediterranean Sea,
Only Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco Can Close Mediterranean Sea

"BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It was formed in 2010 by the addition of South Africa to its predecessor called BRIC. In August 2023, at the 15th BRICS Summit, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had been invited to join the organisation; however, Argentina's current government is expected to decline the invitation.[2] Full membership is scheduled to take effect on 1 January 2024."
Does iran have enough nukes to back this up. If they do, then let them go ahead, make it rain.
@ReferendumRaisinsSocialist5mos5MO
Iran doesn't need nukes. They have satellite guided hypersonic missiles that can hit far away targets with deadly precision

It’s bad for the global economy.
@9HQXMQ7Republican5mos5MO
Mediterranean sea is a good trade route
@9HQX5RR5mos5MO
Iran must not be allowed to continue to fund the terror campaign against the western world
@9HQVZD45mos5MO
Inflation is important but closing the Mediterranean Sea will negatively affect the world economy.
The U.S. and other global partners should do more to secure shipping through the region.
@ContentCraneGreen5mos5MO
This is not an idle threat. Iran is moving ever closer to Algeria precisely to bring its drones, missiles, and cruise missiles within range of the greatest Mediterranean choke point of all: Gibraltar.
