The source indicated that the Trump administration takes the threats of closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait very seriously, especially after operational movements in that regard have been observed. The threats to close this strait were issued by Yemen's Houthis, and its blockade would endanger almost the entire global economy.
Additionally, an Iranian official stated that Trump and his associates, despite their boastful stances, understand the extent of their strategic failure in the unsuccessful operation in Isfahan and know the truth about what is called the "easy exit" plan for the F-15 pilot, particularly since they have not shown any footage of the operation.
The Iranian official also confirmed that Trump realizes there is no possibility of effective progress on the ground and knows that there is no chance of a successful conflict with Iran at sea, and is aware that energy prices will significantly rise in the coming days.
A few days ago, the Iranian armed forces managed to destroy several enemy aircraft south of Isfahan, while U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the American military conducted search and rescue operations for another pilot who was in the combat aircraft that crashed there, noting that dozens of aircraft participated in the rescue action.
