— NOTE: Unless these actions continue, making it a FULL blockade on the Strait of Hormuz for Israeli shipping, then this is NOT Iran's retaliation yet.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: An exclusive source tells me this is not the anticipated Iranian response to Israel, but a 'symbolic signal' that the economic arteries of the West can be cut at any time, after Western nations including the U.S. pledged their support for Israel

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇦🇪 The Israel-UAE land corridor depends on naval traffic sailing through the Persian Gulf

Israel has been using this route, which runs from the UAE through Saudi Arabia and Jordan to Israel, as a way to circumvent the Red Sea blockade in its trade with the Asian continent.

If Iran systematically cuts off Israeli-linked shipping originating in Emirati ports, Israel will effectively be shut off from any trade with Asia and would have to import everything through its Mediterranean Sea ports of Haifa & Ashdod.

If Iran or Hezbollah then decides to strike these two ports, Israel will be completely cut off from the global trade network. This would have massive repercussions on its economy, which is heavily dependent on foreign trade.

@Misdle_East_Spectator

I genuinely don't know why people assume this is Iran's 'retaliation'.

Israeli-linked ships have been seized by the IRGC multiple times over the past few years, this is clearly not the anticipated response, it is really nothing new at all.

I'm not saying Iran is going to launch a gorillion missiles at Israel, but there will certainly be a proportional response, and it won't be the seizure of a ship.

If you have let yourself get hyped up by the US media in the past few days, then you must know that their psyop was successful on you, and that you are very naive and impressionsble. The response will come, only Iran knows when.
