Saudi Arabia is pressing the Trump administration to drop the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, now entering its second day, fearing it could lead to the disruption of other shipping routes, according to a new report. Concretely, officials said Tehran could retaliate to the move by closing Bab al-Mandeb, a key waterway in the Red Sea through which much of the country's remaining exports transit, according to The Wall Street Journal. The outlet went on to detail that the country has been able to restore exports to pre-war levels by routing them through its pipeline to the Red Sea.
