Israeli media: The Iranian rapid advance into East Africa
Israeli media reports have warned of what they call Iran’s rapid advance into East Africa and its impact on the Suez Canal in the future.
A report by the Israeli news website Nziv said that if Iran expands in Eritrea specifically, the Suez Canal will disappear forever, Iran will have a significant impact on the European economy, and it will be a severe blow to the United States and its followers in the region.
According to the Iranians, its presence in Eritrea will have a positive impact on maintaining maritime security, fighting Western colonial piracy and increasing cooperation between Yemen, Egypt, Iran and the entire region.
After the renewal of relations with Sudan and the renewal of the passage of arms convoys from Iran to Yemen and Gaza through Sudan, the spring of relations began with Eritrea, whose location opposite Yemen’s western coast is crucial for Iran.
The report pointed out that Israel has in the past made a great effort to keep Iran away from that region, and now Tel Aviv’s big hands are drowning in the sea, and there is no foreign ministry in Israel, and its minister is preoccupied with political war within his party and does nothing about it.
Eritrea’s foreign minister has said, “Asmara is ready to expand its relations with Tehran even at the strategic level”.
