A Beirut-datelined Straits Times report states that Iran has disrupted traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and that Ansarullah political bureau member Mohammed al-Farah warned Yemen's forces could close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, potentially driving oil prices to $200 per barrel. The warning, carried by Iran's Press TV, attributes the threat to U.S. incitement of Saudi strikes on Yemen. All claims originate from a single left-center source with no corroboration from additional outlets.
